Stonehenge II at the Hill Country Arts Foundation — Attraction in Ingram

A fairly interesting little tourist spot, set up to look quite a bit as if Stonehenge (and a few random moai sculptures!) was relocated to Central Texas. Not a whole lot to do other than take pictures of the sculptures (no explanatory plaques or anything that I could find) but still a worthwhile diversion. I appreciate that the stones are completely open, free to visit, and you can walk through them or pose with them as you please. Though I've never seen it, I imagine the real Stonehenge to be quite a bit more restrictive than that as it has real historical significance, so This place was clearly designed for the age of Instagram and selfies, and might be considered more tourist friendly for that reason.

Unfortunately the stones themselves are quite a bit smaller than real Stonehenge (and hollow, apparently cast from concrete) which would make them quite a bit more portable, a fact which seems to have made it easier to move them to their current location from the rural field where they used to be located several years ago. The drawback to their easy availability is the increased likelihood of graffiti and tagging and vandalism. There was not any graffiti on the sculptures when I visited but there were signs of the sculptures having been patched or painted over by the folks maintaining it, unfortunately made somewhat more visible by the fact that the patches were a different, lighter shade of Gray than the original concrete, detracting from the overall effect. Still, patches and paint inconsistency are better than signs of unaddressed vandalism, so I appreciate the efforts of the folks maintaining the sculptures. Overall, this is worth a visit, especially if you're in the area. You might be disappointed if you were expecting a full scale Stonehenge, though. This is probably 2/3 the size,...

Stonehenge II – Kerrville, TX

This is a nice beautiful sightseeing spot and we had a very interesting story happen here! And it ended well thanks to all the good Samaritans 😊😊 Our family along with friends visited this place on Dec 27th 2023 and we left our DSLR camera there on a park bench. We realized it only on the evening of Dec 28th but it was already gone and the Hill Country Arts Foundation was closed for the holidays. We were still able to get in touch with Ms.Sarah Derousseau who is the Executive Director at HCAF and she posted about our missing camera on their social media handles. A huge thanks to Ms.Sarah - on Jan 3rd, a kind hearted Samaritan contacted us and shipped our camera and most importantly all the lovely memories it holds,...
