Stonehenge Memorial

This concrete replica of England's ancient monument stands on a bluff overlooking the Columbia River, constructed between 1918 and 1929 to honor local soldiers who died in World War I.

The memorial was dedicated on July 4, 1918, making it the first such ceremony in the country before the end of World War I, with the complete structure unveiled on May 30, 1929.

Built by Samuel Hill as a symbol of sacrifice and remembrance, the site serves as a gathering place for commemorative ceremonies and reflects early 20th-century attitudes toward war memorialization.

The memorial remains open daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, offering visitors accessible viewing areas and educational opportunities about its construction and historical significance.

Samuel Hill's remains were placed in a crypt beneath the memorial in 1931, later replaced by a granite monument with his epitaph in 1955, making it both a war memorial and a tomb.
