If you’re in the United States and you intend to travel domestically, there’s some good news for you: you don’t
have to fly all the way to England to see the Stonehenge or to Paris to appreciate the Eiffel Tower. There are world-
famous tourist a ractions you can find at home – perfectly interpreted to cute replicas that are worth seeing. Here
are some of them.

Statue of Liberty: Found in Birmingham, Alabama, the replica is cast in the same French foundry as the original
that enthralls visitors in New York. This Lady Liberty is one-fifth the size of the actual monument.
Foamhenge: Forget about flying to the United Kingdom if you’d like to see the Stonehenge and don’t mind that
you’re witnessing a replica. This replica found in Natural Bridge, Virginia, is made of foam and the sculptor made
sure every stone looked exactly like the original, even consulting a psychic on the arrangement such that it is
astronomically correct.
Parthenon: If you aren’t visiting Athens, Greece, anytime soon, you can find the Parthenon in Nashville, Tennessee.
The full-scale replica was built in 1897 and now serves as an art museum.
Eiffel Tower: Paris, Texas offers a version of this much-celebrated sight in France. But with its own flavor: a giant
cowboy hat sits on top of the structure, which was built in honor of the city’s namesake. Note, however, that this
isn’t the tower’s only replica in the country – the largest is found in Las Vegas.
