In the early 1950s, Bob and Ruth Morrell purchased a large number of dolls from Germany based on storybook characters.

[1] They hired local artist and art teacher Arlene "Topsy" Samuelson to design a theme park, including buildings and attractions, around the dolls.

The interior of the white fabric roof was painted black, and two of the creative collaborators on Heritage New Hampshire, artisans Peter Stone and David Norton, were hired to create the storyline and scenes inside.

Governor John Sununu shared the first five-minute voyage with Bob Morrell,[1] riding in one of the bullet-shaped cars built by Bradley and Kaye of California.

By the mid-1990s, the high maintenance costs and low capacity of the Voyage to the Moon led to consideration of alternative uses for the domed structure.

Story Land's only dark ride operated for about 15 years before the dome was converted to Professor Bigglestep's Loopy Lab play area during the winter of 1998–99.

The Loopy Lab contains an indoor playground full of foam balls, giant vacuums and hoses, and compressed air cannons.

There was the captain of a tall ship from England, a woodsman, a newspaper printer, Mathew Brady (famous Civil War photographer), an engineer of a steam train through Crawford Notch, and others.

After the closure of Heritage New Hampshire, the building was used for storage by Story Land for a decade, and was then repurposed as Living Shores Aquarium.

The largest Linderhof units were built just north of Story Land and were originally owned by couples Larry and Barbara LaReau and Jim and Kathy Sheehan.
