Hurricane, Utah - 100-year-old Pioneer Fruitcake

In the Hurricane Museum - Visitor Information Center in downtown Hurricane, Utah, a very nice collection of local pioneer antiques and memorabilia includes, in a glass cake restaurant display case, a fruitcake that was about 97 years old in 2004. It is an amazing object, with a lovely patina of grayish green (verdi-gris) all over its surface, and a towering testament to the durability and overall edibility of fruitcakes everywhere.

Whenever we visit Zion National Park (just a half-hour ride away), we stop in to see the centenarian fruitcake, and the great people who curate the museum. [Bruce Jensen, 01/19/2008]
