You’re more than likely familiar with Stonehenge, the mysterious, prehistoric monument located in England. You might not have heard of America’s equivalent structure: Carhenge, located just outside of Alliance, Nebraska. It may be worth a visit to see for yourself.
Kevin Saff/ Flickr All 38 of the original stones of Stonehenge are replicated at Carhenge using vintage cars. Because the cars are about the same size as the stones, it is a pretty accurate replica.
Neal Wellons/ Flickr Some say it’s a piece of artwork, others say it’s a political statement. Everyone who visits agrees that it’s incredible.
Chris M Morris/ Flickr Carhenge is the creation of Jim Reinders, who studied Stonehenge in England. Carhenge was built as a memorial to his late father, who once lived on the land that the monument now occupies.
SortOfNatural/ Flickr The Car Art Reserve is also located near Carhenge; it includes a variety of other eye-catching sculptures.
