Whenever I plan out one of our trips, I spend hours scrolling around on Google Maps to see what’s along our route. When I was mapping out our road trip to Camp Jellystone Mammoth Cave, I came across a place called Kentucky Stonehenge. Sure…we’ve all heard of Stonehenge (heck, I’ve even been there!), but Kentucky Stonehenge? Naturally, I was curious and decided that we had to check it out.
I have to admit, Kentucky Stonehenge wasn’t quite what I imagined it to be. In my mind, the stone circle was in the middle of a park. You can imagine our surprise when we pulled up to discover it was actually in someone’s front yard.
Of course, this didn’t deter us from pulling into their driveway, hopping out of the car, and scoping out this quirky little attraction.
What in the World is Kentucky Stonehenge?
Located in Munfordville, Kentucky, this replica of the famous Stonehenge in England is made up of 43 concrete blocks that weigh around two tons each.
Created by Munfordville resident, Chester Fryer, in the early 2000s, Kentucky Stonehenge was built as a tribute to his wife who had recently passed away. Fryer spent months gathering materials and constructing each block by hand, and the attraction has since become a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.
Visitors can explore the replica stones, which are arranged to align with the summer solstice, and admire the detailed stonework put into each piece. There’s also a small museum on site that showcases various artifacts and explains the history of the original Stonehenge.
