Tour Mystery Castle
Located in Phoenix near South Mountain Park, Mystery Castle is a must-see destination on your list. It was built in the 1930s by Boyce Luther Gulley for his daughter Mary Lou Gulley out of found or inexpensive material. After her father's death and after she and her mother inherited and moved into the home, it gained attention and popularity. Life Magazine even wrote a story on it. And in that same year, Mary Lou and her mother began offering tours.
