Agassiz Rock, Protected area in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts.
The Monoliths features two large granite formations rising above the surrounding woodland, forming a natural landmark in the Massachusetts landscape.
Originally named after naturalist Louis Agassiz, the site was renamed to The Monoliths in 2022 to reflect modern values of inclusion.
The site functions as an educational resource for geological studies, demonstrating the effects of glacial movements on New England's terrain.
Visitors can access the formations through marked trails starting from the designated parking area on School Street in Manchester-by-the-Sea.
The granite formations display distinct striations and marks that indicate the direction of ancient glacier movements across Massachusetts.
