Fascinating article with excellent photographs and accompanying story. I had not heard of this, but a friend sent me the URL this a.m. I am thinking this might be a destination for a trip later this summer.

New Hampshire has an ancient site (4000 years old) with features like the Greek oracles. And even (shudder) a sacrificial table? Yeah, it has a drainage tube. Shudder.

America’s Stonehenge | A Historical Site Shrouded in Mystery
In the heart of the woods atop a granite-studded hill in Salem, New Hampshire, stands a site shrouded in legend – America’s Stonehenge.


Once known as the roadside attraction Mystery Hill, America’s Stonehenge in Salem, New Hampshire, includes mysterious rock formations, a warren of man-made caves and chambers, and stone walls that stretch across the hilltop. The origin and purpose of the structures has been hotly debated among scholars and amateur sleuths for years, raising far more questions than answers.
