Kentucky's Stonehenge is a bit of ancient society in the small town of Munfordville,
Kentucky. After scouring one thousand acres of nearby Hatcher Valley, Creator
Chester Fryer relocated nearly every large rock he could find in order to create
his masterpiece. Kentucky's Stonehenge does not strictly follow the layout of
the actual Stonehenge, but instead reflects the points on a compass rose with
additional rocks marking the cardinal directions. In addition to the displays
resembling the world famous Stonehenge, the Fryer estate is divided in several
other rock displays, including Earth Mysteries, the Garden of Gethsemane, Rock
Gardens, and Rock Park. one block off Main Street; free of charge
