The American Adventure pavilion opened on October 1, 1982 with the rest of [[EPCOT Center]]. When the pavilion opened it was sponsored by Coca-Cola and American Express <ref name= "Martin"/>, and it featured the [[American Adventure (Attraction)]], the American Gardens Theatre, Manor Gifts and the [[Liberty Inn]]. The pavilion was officially dedicated on October 11, 1982. On hand for the festivities were Disney CEO Card Walker, American Express CEO Jim Robinson, and Coca-Cola President Don Keough. At the ceremony the Voices of Liberty performed the Star Spangled Banner as doves were released <ref> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QsXXdGhma0</ref>.
Since its opening, the American Adventure pavilion has seen a relatively few number of changes. The pavilion's attraction was updated in 1993, 1997 and again in 2018 <ref name= "Martin"/> <ref> https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2018/02/epcots-american-adventure-attraction-will-add-new-american-icons-this-month/ </ref>. Also in 1993, a small Victorian ship named the Golden Dream was docked on the pavilion's coastline <ref name= "Martin"/>. In November 1994, the American Gardens Theatre was partially enclosed for the debut of the Barbie's Birthday Party show<ref name= "Martin"/>. Original sponsor Cola-Cola ended its sponsorship in 1998, while sponsor American Express ended its sponsorship in 2002 (when Disney switched to Visa) <ref name= "Martin"/>. Finally, when the [[Liberty Inn]] initially opened, it did not have walls or windows (although it did have a roof). Subsequently, the restaurant has been was altered so that it is was entirely indoors <ref name= "Martin"/>.
In 2007, the quick service [[Fife and Drum Tavern]] opened in The American Adventure pavilion <ref> https://www.wdwmagic.com/dining/fife-and-drum-tavern.htm </ref>. On September 27, 2014, the Spirit of America Fife & Drum Crops ceased performing in the pavilion <ref> https://touringplans.com/epcot/attractions/spirit-of-america-fife-drum-corps </ref>.
On July 8, 2019, the [[Liberty Inn]] was permanently closed in order to make way for the Regal Eagle Smokehouse Craft Drafts and Barbecue <ref name="bbq"/>. According to Disney: "The new location will be a modern barbecue smokehouse, with all the accompanying sights, sounds, smells and flavors you love – including a large smoker preparing fine food every day right on the pavilion’s promenade. There will also be a redesigned patio" <ref name="bbq"> https://www.wdwmagic.com/dining/liberty-inn/news/27jun2019-regal-eagle-smokehouse-craft-drafts-and-barbecue-replacing-the-liberty-inn-at-epcot.htm </ref>.

The American Adventure is made up of one large building and an outdoor amphitheater. The pavilion's main structure took inspiration from buildings in Williamsburg, Virginia, Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the Old State House in Boston, and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. In order to see the American Adventure attraction, guests must pass through the pavilion's main indoor entrance. Here, they find themselves in a colonial lobby centered around a large rotunda. The main rotunda is about 35 high and it features 12 large columns <ref name= "Jack"/>. Around the room guests are surrounded by inspirational quotes that correspond to various pieces of hung artwork. On the far side of the lobby, guests can tour the American Heritage Gallery which houses various exhibits. 15 minutes prior to showings of the American Adventure attraction, guests are treated to an a cappella performance by the Voices of Liberty in the pavilion's rotunda.
