Star Tribune discusses Kinstone, a unique attraction in Minnesota that pays homage to megalithic structures similar to Stonehenge in ‘This magical site near the Mississippi pays tribute to Stonehenge-style megalithic structures’. Located near the Mississippi River in rural Minnesota, this site features impressive stone formations that mirror ancient megalithic monuments. It is an intriguing destination for those interested in historical and cultural landmarks.
This site, designed by John Heublein, aims to evoke the same sense of mystery and grandeur as Stonehenge. Heublein’s creation includes massive stone pillars arranged in a circular pattern, which he meticulously planned and executed to reflect the astronomical alignments seen in ancient structures. The monument serves not only as an artistic expression but also as a functional calendar, marking solstices and equinoxes just like its ancient counterparts.
The article highlights the tranquil and almost mystical atmosphere of the site, making it a compelling visit for both history buffs and those looking to experience something out of the ordinary. It emphasizes that Heublein’s work is “a testament to the enduring fascination with ancient stone structures and their astronomical significance”
