The Integratron is one of Southern California's most unique attractions, originally designed by ufologist George Van Tassel in 1959. Van Tassel claimed that the structure, which was partially funded by pilot and business magnate Howard Hughes, was capable of time travel, anti-gravity, and rejuvenation abilities. It is located near Joshua Tree National Park in Landers, reaching heights of 38 feet high and 55 feet in diameter. Following Van Tassel's death in 1978, the structure was purchased in the early 2000s by sisters Patty, Nancy, and Joanne Karl and opened as a tourist attraction. Today, visitors can view the kitschy National Register of Historic Places-listed structure and enjoy unique sound baths, which expose visitors to acoustically-perfect harmonic sound frequencies produced by quartz bowls to induce deep calming experiences. Exhibits at the structure's visitor center detail the structure's history and purported purposes by Van Tassel.
