There are plenty of roadside attractions in Texas to gawk at, but two, in particular, will transport you overseas to Europe – no passport required. In the towns of Ingram and Paris, you can visit Stonehenge and the Eiffel Tower, respectively, without leaving the Lone Star State.

You'll swear you've traveled to England when you visit the small Texas Hill Country town of Ingram.

Here, you'll find Stonehenge II, a near-exact replica of one of the most iconic world landmarks.
We say "near-exact" because Stonehenge II is a scaled model, so it doesn't quite match the grandeur of the original - but it's as close as it gets on this side of the pond.

The monument was built by two friends, Al Sheppard and Doug Hill, and was formerly located in the town of Hunt. It now sits on the campus of the Hill Country Arts Foundation in nearby Ingram. Most of the stones - save for two near the center - are fake.
Another untraditional thing about Stonehenge II is that it also features two sculptures that resemble Moai, the figures seen on Easter Island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean.

These statues are constructed of the same material as the Stonehenge stones, which is plaster on a wire mesh frame.

The Lone Star State also has its very own Eiffel Tower, located in none other than the town of Paris, Texas.

A popular photo-op, this quirky landmark is even adorned with a bright red cowboy hat.
Although you can't ride to the top of this Eiffel Tower (or climb on it in any fashion), it's still worth visiting - even just to say that you did.

The tower is less than one-tenth of the height of the original, so it is by no means a replica. That being said, it stands at a formidable 65 feet tall, which is higher than the one in Paris, Tennessee!
LED lights illuminate the tower at night, and they change colors depending on the season.
