World's Largest Peanut Guide

Georgia grows more peanuts than any state in the country, and Ashburn celebrates the fact with a 40-foot steel peanut wearing a crown, perched on a brick tower right off Interstate 75 — a monument to a legume, and gloriously unbothered about it. The original went up in 1975; Hurricane Michael tore it down in 2018, and the town rebuilt it bigger and shinier in 2023, because of course they did. It sits at Exit 82 in the flat peanut country of south-central Georgia, exactly the kind of thing you owe yourself a five-minute detour for on the long haul to Florida.
