Like Stonehenge, Kinstone is a megalithic site, which basically means it’s made out of stones. However, unlike Stonehenge, Kinstone is modern, rather than pre-historic.

In addition to three stone circles, there’s a labyrinth, many standing stones, a dolmen (a type of single-chamber megalithic tomb), and more.

Several interesting structures can also be found on the property, including a thatched cordwood chapel.

Dubbed the Chapel of Creation, colorful stones, which represent the natural elements, adorn the interior. Green and brown stones depict trees, while the blue stones represent the Mississippi River.

Visiting between November 1st and April 30th isn’t completely out of the question, though. Exceptions can be made for pre-arranged visits. Also, Kinstone is available as a venue for special events.
