Carhenge

Alliance, NE

Located in the heart of Nebraska's Sandhills, Carhenge stands as a testament to American ingenuity and a whimsical tribute to England's Stonehenge. Constructed entirely from vintage automobiles, this unique landmark draws visitors from around the world who marvel at its unconventional design and the creative spirit behind its creation.

Carhenge was the brainchild of Jim Reinders, who, inspired by England’s Stonehenge, sought to create a similar structure using readily available materials. In 1987, with the help of family and friends, he began collecting old cars and arranging them in a circle, mimicking the layout of Stonehenge. Today, Carhenge consists of 38 cars, spray-painted gray and strategically placed to align with the summer solstice sunrise.
