Last month’s contest:

The winner of last month’s contest is Barb Lord of Tukwila.

She and many others submitted the correct answer: The Stonehenge Memorial, which is located in Maryhill, Klickitat County, Washington.

The Stonehenge Memorial is a full-scale replica of Stonehenge on England’s Salisbury Plain. It was built by Sam Hill and is home to his crypt. Sam Hill also built the beautiful Maryhill Museum, just three miles west of the memorial. Both the memorial and the museum sit on a bluff overlooking the Columbia River.

The Stonehenge Memorial was dedicated in 1918 to honor the servicemen of Klickitat County who died during the Great War. It was created as the nation’s first WWI memorial and is meant to be a monument to heroism and peace.

Each year, a small ceremony is held for each of the 14 men honored at Stonehenge Memorial. The public is invited to join the Maryhill Museum staff and friends in honoring these men.

Weather permitting, the ceremonies take place at 9:30am on the following days:

January 4 (William O. Clary)

February 5 (John W. Cheshier)

March 15 (Carl A. Lester)

April 13 (Dewey V. Bromley)

June 6 (Charles Auer)

June 16 (James D. Duncan)

July 25 (James H. Allyn)

July 30 (Harry Gotfredson and Henry Piendl)

September 15 (Edward Lindblad)
