America's Stonehenge\xa0is an archaeological site consisting of a number of large rocks and stone structures scattered around roughly 30 acres\xa0within the town of\xa0Salem, New Hampshire\xa0in the northeast United States. America's Stonehenge is open to the public for a fee.

The site was first dubbed\xa0Mystery Hill\xa0by William Goodwin, an insurance executive who purchased the area in 1937.\xa0This was the official name of the site until 1982, when it was renamed "America's Stonehenge", a term\xa0coined\xa0in a news article in the early 1960s, in an effort to separate it from\xa0roadside oddity sites\xa0and reinforce the idea that it is an ancient archaeological site. Although the area is named after the archaeological site of\xa0Stonehenge\xa0in England, there is no cultural connection between the two.
