Legend has it that the ancient peoples of Rolla used unknown techniques to lift these multi ton rocks, possibly with the help of interstellar beings.Just kidding, according to Missouri S&Ts website, Located on the northwest edge of campus, this monument is open to the public and features approximately 160 tons of granite. It was built by students and faculty using our waterjet equipment to cut pieces of granite to the proper dimensions and arranging them for astronomical purposes.

If you need to take a break, this is a place to stop and catch your breath. Read a little history. Boring for kids.

Great experience. Great place to sit and ponder the world...or maybe just to read a book. A Route 66, NEED to see.

It is of some interest,and can be easily spotted from the main street through town. Parking is free. Read all information postings. It is the best and only replica in town. Like most replicate offerings it is like a toy car compared to a real car.

There is interesting information on the plaques and displays. It is definately not a replica, but a modern example of what ancient cultures built.

Rollas half-scale, working Stonehenge is not nearly as famous as it deserves to be--- especially since it is situated on Route 66 in a college town devoted to St. Patricks Day. Add it to your road trip bucket list for sure!

Its a cool place to swing by, if you have a few moments to waste. The campus itself is pretty cool wish I had time to explore the campus.

Review №29

This landmark is situated right across the street from Enterprise Rent-A-Car. I think its one of the coolest things in Rolla. If youre considering visiting, you might want to see if the Geology or Metallurgy department is hosting a public event.

Studied in VH McNutt Hall, the building behind which Stonehenge was built. It is pretty cool as it was a joint effort by different departments in the university to get the geometry, astronomical aspects, etc correct.Theres also a windmill near it, also a project of the university.
