Stonehenge









Stonehenge







There’s a unique place located right off Hwy 97 just north of the Columbia River. It was built by Sam Hill, a Seattle industrialist who owned a large amount of land in what is now southern Klickitat County. On his large plot of land he built a town, named Maryhill, a mansion that is now the Maryhill Museum, and a memorial to World War I that has the exact specifications of the Stonehenge in England. It sits up on a flat spot overlooking the fruit orchards of what used to be the town of Maryhill. You can walk right up to it and inside too. Nearby is a memorial to the other wars that have taken our children.
