Construction on The American Adventure pavilion began in early 1980 <ref name= "Martin"/>. The pavilion was designed by architect George Terpatsi, who wanted the exterior to resemble a Georgian mansion. The design also took inspiration from buildings in Williamsburg, Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the Old State House in Boston, and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello home <ref name= "Jack"/>.
When the American Adventure pavilion opened on October 1, 1982, it was sponsored by Coca-Cola and American Express <ref name= "Martin"/>. The pavilion consisted of one large building and an outdoor amphitheater. Today, The pavilion's building houses [[The American Adventure (Attraction)]], the [[Liberty Inn]] and the American Heritage Gallery. Initially, the American Adventure attraction was originally going to be a dark ride, but it eventually opened as a theater show that takes guests through the history of America <ref name= "Martin"/>. The American Adventure pavilion also has a small gift shop known as Heritage Manor Gifts. Across from the American Adventures main building, is the America Gardens TheaterTheatere, where live entertainment can often be found. Since its opening, the only change to the American Adventure pavilion has been an update seen a relatively few number of the changes. The pavilion's attraction was updated in 1993, and then again in 1997 <ref name= "Martin"/>.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 Theatere 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 other sponsor American Express ended its sponsorship in 2002 <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 altered so that it is entirely indoors <ref name= "Martin"/>
