Valley of the Moon is a unique area built by George Phar Legler in the 1920s for the purpose of appealing to the magical imagination of children and of bringing mental and spiritual relaxation for visitors to the site. Mineralized rock cliffs, caves, pools, and garden miniatures have blended with tropic and desert flora to create what Mr. Legler called the "Fantasy Touch of Three" (Lewis Carroll, Edgar Allen Poe, and Robert Louis Stevenson).
"Should Disneyland cover the entire State of California, not one corner would
speak to childhood as does this imperfect, perfect little theater."
-- Tucson Daily Citizen, March, 1967.

Silent Auction Postponed Until September
Magic Carpet's day's are numbered, but it is still not too late to preserve
a piece of Tucson history for yourself. Most of the statues are up for auction:
the Monkey, the Dinosaur, the Kachina, and many more. Serious Bidders only please.
Winning bidder will pay for all moving and relocation expenses.
The AUCTION originally scheduled for Saturday, June 28 has been postponed
until September. A firm date has not been established as yet
but we will correspond with you when a new date is confirmed. Our Magic Carpet
Sculpture committee anticipates a lot more publicity in the future in regard
to these wonderful Lee Koplin creations. There are some very possible public
venues opening up for us and we need more time to explore this opportunity.
We assure you that your interest in these statues will be respected and we will
make you aware of any new happenings in regard to them. We apologize for any
inconvenience this postponement may have caused you.
Sincerely, MAGIC CARPET GOLF SCULPTURE COMMITTEE
