5) Putnam County Stone Chambers
Are they ancient ceremonial mounds or simple root cellars? Scholars, historians, and locals cannot seem to agree, but one thing is certain, Putnam County’s Stone Chambers are mysterious. Of the 100 or so chambers found in and around the county, all of the sites face East or West, and many align with the Equinox and Solstice sunrises. Some think their architectural construction indicates a Bronze Age technique. Others think they are sites of healing, or portals to ancient knowledge, or even the work of the devil. Whatever they are, they do capture the imagination.
