Maryhill Stonehenge
Maryhill Stonehenge, World War I memorial sculpture in Klickitat County, United States.
The concrete structure replicates the exact dimensions of the original Stonehenge in England, positioned on a cliff above the Columbia River.
Samuel Hill commissioned this monument in 1918 as the first World War I memorial in the United States to honor fallen soldiers from Klickitat County.
The memorial contains plaques with names of local service members who lost their lives in World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan.
Visitors can access the monument daily from 7 AM until dusk without admission fees, with parking available directly next to the structure.
The altar stone placement aligns with the summer solstice sunrise, following the astronomical principles of the original Stonehenge structure.

Washington holds far more than the well-known attractions of Seattle and Mount Rainier. Across the state, dozens of less-visited sites offer insight into the region's geological history, military past, and natural diversity. From waterfalls to ancient forests to historic lighthouses and military fortifications, Washington presents a substantial range of landscapes and cultural sites. Palouse Falls in Franklin County drops 198 feet (60 meters) into a basalt gorge, while Cape Flattery at the northwesternmost point of the continental United States looks out over jagged cliffs and the open Pacific. Ape Caves in Skamania County is one of the longest lava tube systems in the country, and Beacon Rock rises 848 feet (260 meters) above the Columbia River. The Trail of the Patriarchs leads through centuries-old Douglas firs and cedars, and Deception Pass Bridge connects Whidbey Island to the mainland via a 180-foot (55-meter) steel structure from 1935. Fort Worden in Port Townsend served as a coastal defense installation, and the Wing Luke Museum in Seattle documents the Asian American history of the Pacific Northwest. Dry Falls in Grant County shows the remains of an Ice Age waterfall that was once wider than Niagara Falls. Mima Mounds in Thurston County forms a field of hundreds of symmetrical earth mounds whose formation continues to be scientifically debated. These sites offer practical alternatives to the crowded main attractions and allow for deeper engagement with Washington's natural and historical features.
