This historical marker sits near a bus stop and parking lot to Black Bear Restaurant on Moonlit Oaks Dr. The marker reads:

MOONLIT OAKS DANCE PAVILION

Near this location on July 3, 1926,
Moonlit Oaks Open Air Dance Platform
Opened, hosting dances most Saturday
Nights. Pints of illicit spirits were obtained
From the man in the parking lot with the
Many-pocketed long black overcoat. In
Those days, dancing was a major social and
Entertainment event. World War II and post
War lifestyle changes brought an end to the
Grand age of open air dance pavilions, and
The demise of Moonlit Oaks.

Dedicated August 18, 2012/6017
Humbug Chapter #73 and
Umpqua Joe Chapter #1859
The Ancient and Honorable Order of
E CLAMPUS VITUS

I located the ECV Chapter #73 website here. I could locate no other information regarding the history of this site nor any pictures. If/when I do find something, I'll definitely post it here.
