The peanut monument, located in
Turner County, was designated the official peanut monument in 1998.At one time, peanuts were the number one cash crop in Georgia
and were largely responsible for keeping many Turner County families fed. In
honor of the importance of the peanut, one of Ashburn's citizens erected what
some call the "World’s Largest Peanut.” The monument is approximately
20 feet tall.
