World’s Largest Teapot
Chester, West Virginia | 387 miles
The World’s Largest Teapot began its life in Pennsylvania in the early 1900s as a giant wooden keg, created as an advertisement for Hires Root Beer. The 14-foot-tall barrel was later sold to an entrepreneur named William Devon, who in 1938 moved it to Chester, WV and added a lid, spout, and handle, transforming it into a giant teapot. Devon placed it outside of his pottery store as an attention-getter and sold snacks and souvenirs from within. The teapot fell into disrepair over the years, until 1990, when the city of Chester raised funds for its restoration and moved it to its current location.
