World’s Largest Ball of Twine
Cawker City, Kansas | 272 miles
In north-central Kansas sits a ten-ton ball of sisal twine with a 40-foot circumference that, if ever unfurled, would reveal about eight million feet of twine. Started in 1953 by local farmer Frank Stoeber, the ball of twine is now cared for by the Cawker City Community Club, which organizes an annual “Twine-A-Thon” and continue adding to Stoeber’s legacy, string by string.
