The Bluegrass State has all sorts of peculiar sites and attractions, from larger-than-life caves to bizarre roadside shops. A trip around our state can include a wide array of experiences, including one you may never think to look for on this side of the Atlantic. Stonehenge is a well known, prehistoric monument in England, but did you know there is a version of Stonehenge in Kentucky? This curious place makes for a memorable roadside stop and is located near many other fun-filled places in the Bluegrass.

There are some signs throughout our state that may make you turn your head when you pass by. The one shown below is likely one of them.

In the town of Munfordville, you'll see this sign that lets you know that you are only one block away from the Stonehenge in Kentucky. If that sounds odd, well it is. But that's what makes this a memorable roadside stop in Kentucky.
Stonehenge is actually a collection of rock gardens on a private estate in Munfordville.

You basically use the owner's driveaway to visit, which is allowed, just be sure to be respectful. And don't expect the same size monument as the true Stonehenge in England, but it is still impressive.
Park your car and check out this version of Stonehenge, which is not an exact replica of the real thing, but close.

You may not even recognize any differences if you don't know much about this prehistoric monument, aside from the fact that the rocks are obviously much smaller.
