  It is a lot closer. Stonehenge Kentucky is located off I65 exit 65 in the small town of Munfordville. It is privately owned and charges no fee. Most of the attraction can be seen without leaving your car. Munfordville is my hometown and I pass the location daily. I think it started as a whim and grew into a massive project.

  While on a road trip recently, I made plans to go to Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. The night before my friend and I stayed in a hotel nearby in Cave City and I grabbed some attraction pamphlets as I usually do. While skimming the fun and unique attractions in the area I came across Kentucky Stonehenge. It is only ten to fifteen minutes from Cave City and FREE. We decided to go check it out. When we pulled up we found that the "entrance" was the driveway of someone's house. We parked in their driveway and walked around their yard, which included the "replica" of Stonehenge, rock gardens, a path lined with angel statues and some other random stone structures. This turned out to be a wonderful stop, especially being free. Unlike the real Stonehenge in England, you can walk in and out of the stone structures. I know there are other "Stonehenges" around the United States, but I haven't been to them so I can't compare. All I know is that if you're in the Mammoth Cave region of Kentucky, especially as a tourist, this is a must see. If you have kids they'll probably love it too.

  We saw this attraction on Roadside America and decided to go have a look since it's so close off 65. Figured it would be as cool photo op. We found it easily and were about to jump out of the car to take a walk over when we realized the field with the stones was infested with a swarm of large bees or some other sort of insects. So we decided to just take pics from the safety of our car. The carvings looked nicely done and there are others in the area like a cross, cannon, etc.

  The signage is small and no ads but a few mentions in local tourism material brought this little visited artwork to light. It was like it was in the people's yard literally. The small sign directed us to the street in front of the artists home and until we were walking across the yard did we see a even smaller sign that said parking up next to the carport of the home. The entire art work is broken into several different parts of which KY Stonehenge is only one. We were there on the evening of June 21 and so we got to see the sun setting in the same spot as the English original. Cannon Hill is across the road and several other works are located on the property. Five in all. The artist's family members were even playing basketball on the court nest to the major work. A special evening after a wonderful dinner down the road at the best Mexican place in town!

  since this is someone's personal collection and yard "decor", there's no legitimate place to park other than their driveway. true, the henge is neat and attractive. it was a quick stop and one i'd say "pass" unless you've got a stonehenge fixation.

  My husband and I were out for a day trip and can across KY's Stonehenge. It is located right off the main road and it does seem as though you are driving up to someone's house. After reading other reviews we knew to park right along the road and walk around at our leisure. The owner has done some interesting things with the rocks he has found including a very pretty waterfall as well as the stonehenge. He has put in some lighting and we thought it would be pretty at night. We wouldn't make a special trip to see this but we both agreed that it is very nice of the owner to share his artistic abilities with the public!

  Sometimes you just have to get a photo op at a weird roadside attraction, and this fits the bill. Thanks to the other reviewers who let us know this was basically someone's yard with other rock structures around. We took our obligatory photo and left - it was basically on our way to another attraction so no 'waste of trip'. Gave everyone back home a good chuckle!
