What is it?
Built
by a Native American Culture or a migrant European population? No one knows for sure. A
maze of man-made chambers, walls and ceremonial meeting places, America's
Stonehenge is most likely the oldest man-made construction in the United States
(over 4000 years old).
Ancient Obse rvatory
Like Stonehenge in England, America's Stonehenge was built by ancient
people well versed in astronomy and stone construction. It has been
determined that
the site is an accurate astronomical calendar. It was, and still can be,
used to determine specific solar and lunar events of the year.

Nature
Trail
As you walk along our nature trail you will begin your journey back in
time. The re-creation of structures here are representative of those found
in the Northeast until European settlement. The remains of an actual
cooking rack and 30 foot wigwam dating back 2000 years have been
discovered in the vicinity of the Visitors Center.
Alpacas
Our friendly alpacas are
here year round for your enjoyment. Alpacas are members of the Camelid family.
Camelids originated on the central plains of North America about 40 million
years ago. Alpacas were domesticated about 5000 years ago in South America to
provide fine clothing for Inca Royalty.
