The mysterious and prehistoric Stonehenge in England is one of the world's most fascinating
locations, so fascinating that many Americans have attempted to recreate their own versions in the US. Railroad exec Sam Hill had a scale model Stonehenge built in Maryhill, Washington, as a World War 1 memorial which was started in 1918 and took 12 years to complete. Nuberg, Georgia's “Georgia Guidestones” were paid for by a mysterious man with a fake name, “RC Christian,” who gave 50,000 dollars to a granite company to follow his design instructions. Christian left a model in a shoebox and was never heard from again. Stonehenge II in Kerrville, Texas is a meticulously designed, 60 percent scale replica of the original Stonehenge, and it rests next to replicas of the stone heads from Easter Island. But perhaps quirkiest of all are three stonehenges not made of stone at all. Foamhenge, in Natual Bridge, Virgina took just about a day to sculpt and put together... mostly because it's made of foam. Stonefridge in Santa Fe, New Mexico took nine years to complete, and is made up of 200 refrigerators stacked 18 feet high in a circle. And perhaps strangest of all is Carhenge, in Alliance, Nebraska. 38 broken down cars were rescued from the junkyard and turned into a surreal stonehenge recreation. The cars have been pained a flat gray in order to look more like the original, and Carhenge is now made up of 100 percent American vehicles. Two foregin cars were recently replaced by models built in Detroit, while the centerpiece “Heel Stone” is a 1962 Cadillac
