Monsanto Closed - 1967

The Monsanto House of the Future was an attraction at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, USA from 1957 to 1967. It was sponsored by Monsanto.

The attraction offered a tour of a futuristic house, set in the year 1986, and featured inventions like microwave ovens, which eventually were invented.

The house survived the New Tomorrowland of 1967, but closed shortly after, as Monsanto's attention shifted to their new sponsored attraction, Adventure Thru Inner Space. The building was so sturdy, that when demolition crews tried to knock out walls with a wrecking ball, the ball bounced off. Hacksaws were required to take the building apart, piece by piece.
