About Carhenge

Carhenge is a replica of Stonehenge made from 39 automobiles, arranged in a circle about 96 feet across and covered in gray spray paint. Jim Reinders built it with family members as a memorial to his father and dedicated it at the June 1987 summer solstice. Some cars stand trunk down in pits five feet deep, with others welded on top to form arches. The surrounding Car Art Reserve holds more car sculptures, and a gift shop opens seasonally.
