The Muppets Present ... Great Moments in American History was a live show located in the Liberty Square area at the Magic Kingdom, performed daily and featured the Muppets presenting abridged accounts of notable milestones from the Colonial era of American history and its majority unfolded from the second-story windows of the Heritage House, adjacent to the Hall of Presidents attraction.

This was the last Muppets production to feature Steve Whitmire before his dismissal from the role of Kermit and other characters sometime in the same month of October 2016.

The Muppets are physically performed live in the show by the park's in-house puppeteers in synchronization to a pre-recorded dialogue track.

A live cast member portrays James "J.J." Jefferson, the town crier who engages the audience in the "Declaration of Independence" sketch.

Due to the distance between guests and the Muppet characters, the puppets are made 5% larger than the size traditionally used for film and television.
