FIELD GUIDE

The story

Stonehenge is not a monument that normally travels, but its foam twin has done so, and it now lives on a working farm in northern Virginia.

Foamhenge is the work of the artist Mark Cline of Enchanted Castle Studio. The Richmond Times-Dispatch described it in 2016 as a beaded-foam reproduction of Stonehenge that Cline created as an April Fools’ stunt in 2004. A Guardian writer reported in 2015 that it was erected on 31 March 2004 and partly covered in black plastic for an April Fools’ Day unveiling. It stood on a hillside off U.S. 11 north of Natural Bridge, Virginia.

In 2016 that land was due to become Natural Bridge State Park, and the Times-Dispatch reported that state officials had said Foamhenge did not “fit” the park’s mission. Cline told the paper that he considered selling it, giving it away or dumping it in a landfill, and received more than 50 inquiries from around the country, including from an airport, a botanical garden and a Moose Lodge. He chose Cox Farms, a 116-acre family-run farm near Centreville, saying it had the resources and land to help it survive.

Cox Farms says Foamhenge made its debut at the farm in 2017 as part of its Fall Festival. KFOX14’s Amazing America series, in August 2025, described a full-size foam replica of Stonehenge made of painted foam blocks, on a working farm.

Cox Farms says Foamhenge is on private property. During the Fall Festival it is included with admission, and in spring and summer it is typically open for very limited hours, with access by shuttle from the farm’s Corner Market.
