Georgia Guidestones

Georgia Guidestones are to be found on a hilltop in Elbert County, approximately nine miles north of Elberton in Georgia. The Guidestones is a large granite monument on the highest point in Elbert County that many people often refer to as the "American Stonehenge". Small signs sit beside the highway to indicate the turnoff for the Guidestones, which is identified by a street sign as Guidestones Road.

This monument is 18 feet tall and has been made from six granite slabs weighing over 240,000 pounds. The stones are arranged with one in the middle, four surrounding the central slab while the sixth lies on top of the other five. The center stone has a hole through which the North Star can be seen at any time.

Visitors will see that a message is inscribed in the Guidestones that consists of 10 principles in eight different languages English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese and Russian. In addition to the six stones there is an explanatory tablet located a few feet away that tells visitors more facts about the Guidestones. About seven miles from here is the Richard B. Russell State Park, where visitors can camp or try various activities on the lake such as water skiing and boating.
