Bamahenge — Attraction in Alabama

Okay, so imagine you're cruising through Alabama and BAM—out of nowhere—there’s a full-size Stonehenge replica chilling in a pine forest. That’s Bamahenge, and yes, it’s as random and awesome as it sounds.

It's free, it's weird, and it’s actually aligned with the summer solstice like the real Stonehenge. I mean… who thought of this? And also—thank you.

The whole vibe is peaceful but trippy. Like one minute you're in the South, and the next you're questioning ancient civilizations and pretending you're in a sci-fi movie. The stones are fiberglass, but they look legit from a distance. It's the kind of place that makes you want to spin in circles, take dramatic photos, or just stand there and go, “What even is this?” (In the best way.)

There’s a cool little info sign that tells you about the real Stonehenge too, and honestly, it just adds to the fun. History meets roadside kitsch.

Definitely worth the stop. Take a detour. Bring snacks. Channel your inner druid. Bamahenge is weird—and weird...

Sometimes the treasures found are nothing more than interesting attractions such as this and that’s more than enough! Anyway, nice little area a bit of a drive off the main highway. Great area for picnics. Plan to spend about hour here if you choose to drive all the way to the back and visit the dinosaurs along the way and the interesting sculptures at the marina...

A unique visitors experience is had by all. The shear size of these monoliths makes you take a moment and imagine the work involved in the creation of Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England.

Although Bamahenge was create with fiberglass, it is still an incredible sight to see. The area surrounding the the monoliths is well mowed and kept tiddy. There is a gravel parking area available for about three cars. Use caution if you have low riding vehicle as the parking area is park of a drainage area and you could scrap the under carage of your car.

Please note that there are no signs indicating the location. However, the site is visible from the road if you keep...
