The Polaris Ring

The Polaris Ring, a sculptural installation, by noted Michigan sculptor David Barr (1939-2015), fills a round-about in front of the Michigan Library and Historical Building, Lansing, Michigan.

 

Some people call this a "modern Stonehenge". The first picture in the comments below shows an alignment that focuses on a 4-story White Pine growing in an open atrium at the Michigan Library and Historical Building. Step into the ring, with the rock boulder in front of you, look between the two largest columns and it will sight to Polaris, the North Star.
