This giant Pecan is currently housed outside the Pecan Museum of Texas. The museum exhibits included nutcrackers, varieties of pecans, and folk art.

The World's Largest Pecan is at the Big Red Barn. There is also a museum of some sort.
[Shelley Anderson-Ledwig, 12/02/2017]The museum is the Texas Agricultural and Heritage Center. If you go inside you can learn about much smaller pecans that are grown in and around Seguin.
As of late January 2013, if you are standing directly in front of the big red barn, the large nut is located at the end of the barn on the righthand side. There's plenty of gravel parking. We did not see anyone to chat with about their pecan nut.
