Located in the sand hills of
western Nebraska, Carhenge attracts thousands
of visitors each year. The original sculpture
was created in June, 1987 as a memorial to Jim
Reinders' father who once lived on the farm
where Carhenge stands. As its name suggests,
Carhenge was inspired by Stonehenge, the famous
stone circle in England. (Click
here to see some sunset photos of Stonehenge,
take by Dave Gomm, one of the RTA Moderators.)
Thirty-eight vehicles have been placed in roughly
the same proportions as Stonehenge. A local
support group now manages and maintains the
site.
Since the original Carhenge
was created, new
car-themed sculptures have been added. For
