ROLLA, MISSOURI · AFTER DISEMBARKATION
Stonehenge & the science of stone
Complete your passage with Missouri S&T’s half-scale Stonehenge: ancient geometry, precisely recast in granite in the heart of Rolla.
Your day, thoughtfully planned.
After disembarkation, join your host for a final discovery in Rolla. Missouri S&T’s Stonehenge is a half-scale partial reconstruction of the English monument, made from granite cut with the university’s waterjet technology. Walk among the stones and consider the relationship between engineering, astronomy, and an enduring idea. The tour returns to Grand Continental’s Rolla arrival reception, where your luggage and onward arrangements await.
Your experience includes
- Transfer from the Rolla arrival reception
- Hosted visit to the Stonehenge monument
- Introduction to its engineering and astronomical alignments
- Luggage held at the arrival reception
