The attraction opened to the public in 1958 under the name Mystery Hill Caves. In 1982 it was changed to America's Stonehenge. Apparently, people were showing up looking for their cars to defy gravity.

The self guided tour definitely takes a bit of imagination. A black and white photocopy map is the only help as you stumble through the NH woods trying to match map numbers with correlated wood nubs showcasing important spots. These usually come in the form of rock piles that are supposed to represent something.

Your trek reaches it's peek at the sacrificial table. The four ton slab comes complete with a "speaking tube" underneath. The tube connects to a room inside a cave below that is just big enough to crawl into and be unseen. Yelling into the tube gives the illusion that the table is talking. Spooky!

Stumble through Stonehenge

How did these strange stones get here? Even after you pay your way inside, coaxed by an Orson Wells sounding video in the lobby, you never really find out. Native Americans? Migrant Europeans? Descendants of the original Stonehenge builders? The choice is yours.

The site claims to have super natural powers. The explanation as to what kind of powers is also a bit rough around the edges.

The attraction holds annual solstice parties if you ever wondered what the sun looks like rising on a rock. Snow shoes are for rent in the gift shop in case of rough weather.
