Bamahenge, Fiberglass Stonehenge replica in Elberta, Alabama.
Bamahenge is a Stonehenge replica made from fiberglass, standing in a wooded area near Elberta with massive stones arranged in a circular formation. The structure mirrors the ancient British monument's design using contemporary construction materials visible up close.
Artist Mark Cline created this structure in 2012 following a private commission to build an eye-catching landmark. The installation was designed to enhance the surrounding marina property and establish a distinctive local attraction.
The name combines Alabama's nickname 'Bama' with Stonehenge, reflecting the local interpretation of the ancient British monument's design.
The location is accessible from US Highway 98 by heading south on County Road 95 and following local roads to reach the site. Visitors should plan to explore the wooded setting during daylight hours to navigate safely.
Hidden beneath the fiberglass exterior are concrete and steel supports that allow the structure to withstand powerful coastal storms common to the region. This engineering approach keeps the artwork standing strong year after year.
