With a capacity of 1,573 gallons, the world’s largest cedar bucket resides in the historically reproduced village of Cannonsburgh Village in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The bucket was originally built in 1887 as a promotional exhibit by the Tennessee Red Cedar Woodworks Company, and traveled to world’s fairs—including the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair.
Due to a 2005 fire, the bucket was partially destroyed. In 2011, it was rebuilt, and today it stands over 70 inches tall with a 6-foot-diameter base.
