Natural Bridge & FoamHenge

TIME : 2016/2/18 11:14:35

Yes, it's a kitschy tourist trap, and yes, vocal creationists who insist it was made by the hand of God are dominating the site, but the 215ft-high Natural Bridge , 15 miles from Lexington, is still pretty cool. It was surveyed by a 16-year-old George Washington, who supposedly carved his initials into the wall, and was once owned by Thomas Jefferson. You can also take a tour of some exceptionally deep caverns here.

Just up the road, check out Foamhenge , a marvelous full-sized replica of Stonehenge made entirely of Styrofoam. There are fine views – and even an on-site wizard. It's 1 mile north of Natural Bridge.
