The Journey of a 9-Ton Peanut in the Era of Jimmy Carter

Credited from: LATIMES

  • In 1977, President Jimmy Carter, a former peanut farmer, was gifted a 9-ton redwood peanut carved by loggers protesting park expansions that threatened their jobs.
  • Despite its significance, the Carter administration rejected the peanut, leading to its placement in Orick, California, where it deteriorated over decades.
  • The peanut gained renewed attention following Carter's death at 100, with local media highlighting its story alongside his obituary.
  • In June 2023, the peanut was dismantled in a hit-and-run incident, prompting plans for a smaller replica to preserve its memory.
  • The fate of the peanut reflects the historical impact of logging industry changes and Carter’s actions in expanding Redwood National Park amidst local protests.
