Urbana, Ohio: World's Largest Loaf of Bread
For years this fake loaf lay on the ground behind a factory building, neglected and forgotten. Unexpectedly restored in June 2016, then moved to a (private) parklike spot in 2024.

Large sculpture in the shape of a loaf of bread by the American Pan Co (Bunday Baking Solutions). The loaf is on private property, with a "No Trespassing" sign in the driveway, though it is clearly visible from the public sidewalk.

I stopped by in June 2016 and saw two painters restoring the loaf. The center part of the loaf is a large vinyl decal, similar to ads you see applied to buses. The painters were painting the ends of the loaf white, and the part after the twist tie was being painted blue. They were not sure what the company is planning to do with the loaf, but at least it has been restored to its former glory.
[signmanjoe3688, 07/29/2016]Look for the sign that says "dock" in red lettering. The loaf is right next to the building, and there's room to park. Like others have noted, it's pretty beat up. There are signs in front of the parking area saying "No Trespassing," and it appears pretty daunting, but nobody ran out and chased me away. There's visitor parking right in front of the bread loaf -- no indicator of a "museum" so I didn't go in.

Right next to the loading dock. No one that I spoke with in town knew about the load of bread. It appears that this item is an unappreciated relic that the current owners did not have the heart to disassemble and destroy.
[Jon, 03/28/2010]Loaf is in fair shape, was fun to find. Wish someone would buy it and return it to its former glory -- maybe a bakery or bread company.
