One autumn night after a party at the Van Tassel's, Ichabod sets off for home alone.

Six years later, a spacecraft arrived from Venus, according to Van Tassel, and took him aboard.

Van Tassel died in 1978.

Van Tassel, acting on these instructions, began constructing the Integratron in 1954.

Van Tassel also built the nearby Integratron and a small airport in the vicinity, which he operated from 1947 to 1975.

Van Tassel eventually built a home, a cafe, a small airstrip, and a dude ranch beside the Rock.

In 1954, Van Tassel and others began building the Integratron to perform the rejuvenation.

The Integratron was never fully completed due to Van Tassel's sudden death a few weeks before the official opening.

Van Tassel later described the historic play to the United Press:

Her work shifted the focus from Van Tassel's extraterrestrial technological model, to a more 'spiritualized' approach.
