Leave a Legacy

HISTORY:

An inspired sculpture celebrating the promise of tomorrow. The site has 30 sculpted and polished granite megaliths. The granite megaliths range from 3 to 19 feet high, and the heaviest weighs more than 50,000 pounds. This grand artistic statement is made of custom tiles that visitors created with words and photos. It is modelled on their hopes and dreams for the future. The sculture commemorates the dawn of a bright new millennium, a living testament of one generation's legacy to the next.

The Leave a Legacy plaza was designed by the late Imagineer John Hench, along with a team of Walt Disney Imagineering interns. Hench started as an artist with The Walt Disney Company in 1939 and went on to help design and build Disneyland. He was the original art director for Epcot and chief designer of Spaceship Earth.
