In the 1950's the site was named and opened to the public, today many visitors enjoy America's Stonehenge and the surrounding woods. There are discovery areas leading down the path towards all the stone structures, where all ages can discover how to search for clues about this ancient place. It was a very pleasant walk through the woods and takes about an hour and a half for people wanting to travel back in time.
