This Modern Megalithic Garden leaves you feeling as if you have visited an older world in a different time. We offer tours, retreats, workshops, and even concerts! No place like it! Kinstone features one of the largest privately owned stone circles in the world and tons and tons of granite boulders, standing stones and sculptures. Come to enjoy the stones, see our gardens, find a spot for quiet contemplation to re-connect to nature, or make a personal pilgrimage along The Way of the Stones. Located in rural Fountain City, Wisconsin, just off County Road M on Cole Bluff Lane, it is a contemplative, park-like place with spectacular views. This 30-acre bluff-top property has over 100 standing stones; three stone circles, dolmen, classic 7-circuit labyrinth, thatched, cordwood chapel, dry-stack stone sculpture, natural buildings, food forest gardens, raised bed gardens and more.

This place is amazing. The owner and collector unfortunately passed away last year, but his wife and children still run the museum. It is located on a hill overlooking the water and has numerous collections of cars, car toys, antiques, you name it, he's got it! You can't take pictures inside of the buildings which was disappointing but it was enjoyable just walking through each building in awe of how someone could have collected so much in their lifetime. This is a must do for anyone visiting the area.

My husband and I were hosts there for two years. This is an excellent park. We enjoyed meeting all the people that came in as campers. Chris is an outstanding ranger and manager. Very clean park well kept park. Fishing is excellent. Fish off shore and get as many fish as those in a boat. Yes the trains go through a lot. You just kind of get used to it. Fountain City has excellent restaurants lot of places to go wine tasting. There is a new place up on highway 95 that has some amazing food., So many places to go sightseeing. Going to Alma and go up to Bueno Vista Overlook. It is beautiful.. There are two many things to list on here for places to go and things to do

This is an actual home that a rock fell into. Remember the signs along the road and read, “be aware of falling rocks”. Yea, they forgot to post one by this house. It is certainly a part of history. Stop and see this unforgettable story and leave a coin to keep the attraction going.
