Stonehenge?…no no no, its Carhenge!
There are hundreds of towns in middle America who have odd claim to fame exhibits, slogans, or marketing ploys to draw in tourists. Some of them are the famous Roswell New Mexico Alien Crash Site, The Superman festival in Metropolis Illinois, or the absurd toilet seat museum in San Antonio Texas. None of them compare to the wacky Carhenge in western Nebraska which is an imitation of the famous Stonehenge monument in England. Carhenge features 38 various old cars painted gray arranged in a circle just like Stonehenge.
If you live nearby or on a road trip, this might be a good spot to relax a bit and check out this work of modern art. They have an annual summer solstice event if your interested but if you have kids, this might not be the place for them to spend their summer vacation. Dont forget to purchase your very own “I was at Carhenge” T-shirt that will surely make all your snooty neighbors jealous…..or maybe not.
