Valley of the Moon (Tucson, Ariz.)
Biographical note: George Phar Legler purchased two and a half acres of land on Allen Road, Tucson, Arizona in 1923. He constructed a series of caves, tunnels, towers, rock villages, waterfalls, dragons and gnomes, and opened the Valley of the Moon in 1932 as a children's theme park. Legler gave magic shows and fairy tours; in the 1940s, he produced "Bunnyland", a theater program featuring rabbits dressed in costume. In the 1970s, the Valley of the Moon Restoration Society was created to restore the park.
