“Motorists cruising near Center Street and 400 West in Orem may have made a double take upon glimpsing a newly erected large-scale replica of the iconic prehistoric monument Stonehenge in England.” We’ll bet they did!
This was the first we’d seen of what may be the newest Stonehenge replica in North America. It stands on the lawn of a new high-end nursing facility for recovery from a hospital stay or other health problem, a transitional facility called Stonehenge of Orem. You may wonder why.
The administrator says that the number one question he gets is why they chose Stonehenge as a theme. He must be up on recent Stonehenge information, because he mentions that Stonehenge is believed by some to have been a place of healing, much like their facility. “We want to be the Disney World of skilled nursing facilities,“ he said.

Stonehenge of Orem, Utah is a locally owned and operated convalescent and rehabilitation facility. Built in 2008, this facility has been accepting patients since December of 2008. The company’s logo is the recreation of smaller scale version of Stonehenge. The structure stands in front of the main entry to the facility and may be visited by the public at 435 West Center Street, Orem, UT.
