World's Largest Peanut

The World's Largest Peanut in Ashburn, Georgia has been knocked off its pedestal (crown and peanut) by Hurricane Michael on October 10, 2018. Let's hope it is restored to its rightful spot soon!

World's Largest Peanut

You need not feel like a Goober to visit. Good photo ops. Covered picnic area. There was a slight gnat issue that cut our visit short. Good place to stop and stretch if traveling through Southern Georgia.

It's a pretty big peanut! You can drive right up to it and have a little picnic under its shadow...we loved it!

Ashburn Peanut.

World's Largest Peanut Monument

Easy to spot from I-75, but a little trickier to get to once you get off. Has a shaded picnic area and is much bigger than it first appears.

Peanut Monument.

World's Largest Peanut Monument

Decided to make the World's Largest Peanut Monument a stop on our family's sojourn to Florida, and glad we did! We had a little trouble identifying the access road that leads to the monument because it was a little overgrown and not marked. But we did find it after a quick turnaround in an apartment complex. To make it easier for others, I recorded the GPS coordinates: N 31 42.383 W 83 38.130
