Stonehenge II
Ingram, Texas, United States
Stonehenge II is a public art installation that includes two massive moai. It was the creation of Al Shepperd and his neighbor Doug Hill. It was originally created in 1992 on Shepperd's land eight miles away in Hunt, Texas. It all started with a large granite slab, which inspired Shepperd to build a replica of Stonehenge around it, mainly out of faux rock, using plaster on wire mesh frames. After his Stonehenge II was completed, he kept going, adding the two large fabricated moai to his property.
Shepperd passed away in 1994, and by 2010, the land was being sold and the attraction needed a new home. The Hill Country Arts Foundation stepped in, and had the whole thing moved to a riverside park location eight miles away in Ingram, Texas, where it stands today. The park is open free to the public every day, from dawn until nightfall.
