World's Largest Peanut
The small town of Durant is proud to be home to the World's Largest Peanut. It is commemorated with a statue on the corner of the lawn outside City Hall. The inscription reads, "Dedicated to the Bryan County peanut growers and processors." The statue was dedicated in 1974 and remains a popular for visitors to stop and snap a photo today. There is also a time capsule that was buried in 1973 just a few feet in front of the peanut. It will be opened in June of 2023.
