Join us for a celebration 50 years in the making! The World's Largest Peanut has a time capsule that was buried 50 years ago on June 16, 1973! The one thing local leaders and agricultural members did not keep record of...what is in the capsule!

On June 16th, 2023 we will all find out on the corner of 3rd and Evergreen in front of Durant City Hall.

  • Peanut Time Capsule Unveiling! Selected members from the Peanut Time Capsule Planning Committee will reveal each item in the capsule as special handlers showcase the items to the public.
