You might be familiar with a certain place on a small, cold island across a dark sea, quite a distance from our beloved Lone Star State, where strange stones stand at attention and explorers spend time puzzling at their mysterious purpose. Stonehenge is one of the most iconic landmarks on this great, green planet, but did you know there is another Stonehenge you can experience right here in our home state? Hold on to your hats, folks, because today we’re headed for Stonehenge II.

There’s no great mystery to the origin of Stonehenge II. It was built by Al Shepperd and his neighbor, Doug Hill, on Shepperd’s land in Hunt, Texas.

Stonehenge II isn’t quite as massive as its inspiration. The stones of Stonehenge II stand at 90% the height and 60% the width of the original. It is important to note the stones aren't light foam - these things are made of concrete.

You’ll also find the megalithic structure has a few iconic companions. Ever the whimsical visionary, Shepperd added some Easter Island heads to the massive work of art.

When Shepperd passed away, the massive art installation needed a new home so that future generations could enjoy it. Since it is made not of foam, but of concrete, moving the work would be a monumental task.
