Coined as 'American's Stonehenge' the stones are an extraordinary sight to see.

Columcille represents the offbeat dream of two highly spiritual fellows: Bill Cohen Jr., and Frederick Lindkvist. Their official line on the place reads something like this: Columcille was built to resemble an ancient spiritual retreat called the Isle of Iona, located off the west coast of Scotland. There, 350 stones were planted into the ground to mark it as a place where "The veil is thin between worlds."

The Columcille Stones are located at the Columcille Megalith Park and Celtic Art Center.
