Stonehenge II
120 Point Theatre Road S., Ingram
This modern tribute to an ancient monument in Ingram requires a detour into the Hill Country, but it's well worth inclusion on this list. Created by Al Shepperd and Doug Hill, Stonehenge II originally stood on Shepperd's property in Hunt, before being moved to the grounds of the Hill Country Arts Foundation after his death. Around two-thirds of the size of its namesake, the sculpture is accompanied by two replicas of Easter Island heads.
