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.

Valley of the Moon was built by George Phar Legler and dedicated it to the premise that Kindness to All is the Golden Key to Happiness. He gave free tours for almost 40 years, and was featured in Life Magazine in 1957. Valley of the Moon is run entirely by volunteers and is a 501(c)3 registered Arizona historic site.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a PYGMY HUT! As you may know, a move of some statues from Magic Carpet Golf to Valley of the Moon has been an ongoing 17 month long project. We are thrilled to report project leaders are now entering the last phase of that project, the statues are on site and we expect to have the final details wrapped up soon!
