Lori Graves has welcomed a seemingly endless stream of people at her Morning Fresh Dairy Farm in Bellvue, Colorado since a shiny monolith mysteriously appeared there more than a week ago. At first, she was amused by the curiosity of locals stopping by to catch a glimpse of the structure and ponder theories about its origins. But the onslaught of visitors has also exhausted Graves and her staff — emblematic of why similar monoliths have been quickly removed from other locations where they popped up. “We had easily 800 people yesterday,” Graves said Monday by phone, “and yesterday wasn’t as busy as the day before.” The intrigue around the monoliths has been undeniable since the installations first captured headlines in 2020.
