Foamhenge is a tourist attraction just off I-81 at Natural Bridge, VA. The property owner used styrofoam (reinforced with an internal wood structure) to recreate the world famous Stonehenge. Been a few years back, so the display needs to be recoated with paint to reseal the foam.
The coords are for a bench on the way up the hill which displays this Zippy strip. Zippy in the real world!
Per the welcome sign here:
Stonehenge took 1500 years to complete using stones weighing as much as 50 tons. An estimated 600-1000 men dragged the stones from Marlborough Downs, 20 miles north. Perhaps used as a temple, observatory, or tomb.
Foamhenge was completed in six weeks using beaded styrofoam blocks weighing up to 400 pounds. Delivered on 4 tractor trailer trips from Winchester, VA, 100 miles north. It took 4-5 Mexicans and one crazy white man to construct. Its purpose is to educate and entertain.
