Bucket is there as of Feb. 1, 2022. It's behind bars, which is very disappointing for photo ops. Still, tour the village. It's cute and has a post office replica in the country store.

You burn a town's big bucket and things get serious. The big cedar bucket is on display but guarded by a large enclosure. There are plenty of photo ops in the village which houses the big cedar bucket. A collection of vintage tractors, gas pumps, and pioneer buildings are also there.
[Darren And Donna, 07/14/2014]This is again the world's largest cedar bucket. They were able to restore it after the fire, so the big bucket in Oxford no longer holds the title.
