Atop a bluff in Columbia Gorge, where Columbia River passes between Oregon and Washington, is a monument to those soldiers who fell in World War I. The structure is a reconstructed, full-size replica of the stonehenge that stands in England. The American version of stonehenge gets fewer visitors than the ancient original. It is not aligned with the sun’s rise. The structure in the gorge sits distant from centers of population. However, it is a good place to reflect on brave ancestors as we consider the history we make each day with our actions. Visit the American stonehenge in Maryhill, Washington when you have the chance.
