Stonehenge is located on Salisbury Plain, 75 miles southwest of London. Construction was begun in 2800 B.C. and completed in 1800 B.C. It is an important landmark in England…This is not that landmark.

This “Stonehenge” is a half scale model at the Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla, MO., a landmark for this small mid-western town.

Our Stonehenge in, Rolla, MO, sits among modern buildings. Thousands of automobiles drive past it each and every day.
