The ball is back and bigger than ever! It's up to 9,370 pounds. The museum wasn't open when we visited, but we were able to buy t-shirts down the street at the hardware store.
[Dave Lim, 07/29/2021]As of April 29, 2016, the ball is gone. Its hut remains, the floor littered with a few stray kernels. Folks at the Noble popcorn factory report there will be a new and bigger ball in August of 2016.
[Tom Burkett, 04/30/2016]Absolutely great exhibition of old nostalgia items, drug store, general store and post office!
[Ajamison, 06/14/2015]The popcorn ball is still on display but getting a little moldy. A volunteer at the museum said that the popcorn factory is thinking of making another one. Don't miss the random museum and recreated shops and church next to the popcorn.
