Carhenge - Nebraska tourism

One of the unique and very interesting things you will find on your trek through Nebraska is Carhenge. It is a celebration of the surreal!

As the name suggests, this is a replica of one Stonehenge, one of the most famous sites in the world. The only irony is that instead of monolithic slabs of stone, this structure is made completely from the shells of old automobiles.

Carhenge is not the only sculpture in the park, of course. The Spawning Salmon, created by Geoff Sandhurst shows a giant fish rising from the earth. Dino, is a sculpture of a historic dinosaur that looks amazeingly like a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The Fourd Seasons is a sculpture that is very unqiue to the state – it shows the four stages of the wheat that is harvested in the area. The Carnestoga is a station wagon that is scuplted to resemble a Conestoga wagon from times past – it even has wagon wheels and “horses” hitched to the front!

Carhenge is open all year, and the best visiting hours are during the day. Admission to the park is totally free, but they willingly accept donations. These donations are used for the maintenance and upkeep of the area.

So enjoy your vacation through Nebraska - you will be happy that you found it!
