Modern Stone Circle / Monolith in United States

This is almost certainly the prettiest Stonehenge replica in the States. The white limestone 'sarsens' stand out beautifully on the golfing green. Some effort is made toward accuracy, with the three-lintel stretch included and the trilithon horseshoe opening toward it, but it's pretty simple, with no bluestones.

Unfortunately, this Stonehenge is on private property, with no access for the public. Bob LeBlanc's beautiful photos make this all the more regrettable.

This article gives a few details about it and claims:

"...Mr. Smith had built a full-size and almost identical replica of the Stonehenge right in the middle of the golf course. It was constructed right down to the 13-degree adjustment to make up for the latitude so it would line up correctly during the equinox."

Some very interesting pictures of the replica, including one from inside, can also be seen at that link. If I could only visit one replica in North America, this would probably be it. Second and third would be the replica at Odessa Texas (which is not Stonehenge II) and the Circle of Life in Connecticut.

[site page updated. thank you. admin] For some reason the site wouldn't accept the coordinates I found.

It should be at about 48.786080 latitude and -114.888490 longitude.
