SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. — The Carhenge monument in Alliance receives thousands of visitors a year, but few are as widely known as actors Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher.
This screen grab shows Ashton Kutcher’s Instagram post saying that he and Mila Kunis had visited Carhenge.
The husband and wife duo, well-known for their roles on “That ’70s Show,” visited Carhenge on July 6. Kutcher, a native of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, posted a picture to Instagram of himself and Kunis at the monument. He captioned it “Found the original vista cruiser,” tying a station wagon at the site to the infamous car on the show.
As of Monday afternoon, the Instagram post had more than 264,000 likes. Carhenge and others had shared the post on Facebook as well, generating a lot of interest.
Kaytlin Norris, Alliance’s executive administrative assistant of tourism, expressed gratitude for the couple’s visit.
“I’m ecstatic that they came. I had to do a double take when I saw that social media post,” she said.
The couple’s visit came shortly after Tripadvisor recognized Carhenge for its consistently positive user experiences.
