Stonehenge
Klickitat County, Washington
Built by Sam Hill, son-in-law of the railroad magnate James J. Hill, pioneer advocate of good roads, promoter of international peace and friend of royalty, Stonehenge is a replica of the mysterious Stonehenge in England. The plaque dedicating the American Stonehenge reads:
"In memory of the soldiers of Klickitat County who gave their lives in defense of their country. This monument is erected in the hope that others inspired by the example of their valor and their heroism may share in that love of liberty and burn with that fire of patriotism which death can alone quench."
