Stonehenge Redux
In addition to visiting Sam Hill’s Maryhill Museum of Art, I took in his replica of Stonehenge nearby. Hill wanted to build a monument for servicemen from Klickitat County who had died in the Great War, and this is the form it took, high on a hill overlooking the Columbia River.
The man himself is entombed on the hillside just below where I took the second picture. I had mistakenly thought Sam Hill to be James HIll’s son, and he was part of the Empire Builder’s family, but by marriage—to Mary Hill, and thus the name of this place.
Two images by Richard Koenig; taken March 19th 2023.
