See the Peanuts of Dothan

Feb 13, 2019

As part of our Peanuts Around Town project, the city of Dothan has scattered giant peanuts throughout the city as tribute to one of the most important and distinctive crops in the area! Check out some of these unique installations and spend some time exploring Dothan. Here are our three favorite spots to see the giant peanuts.

Dothan Visitor’s Bureau

Dothan’s Visitor’s Bureau is a great place to start for visitors and residents who want to learn more about the city. From maps to tour information, the bureau has a wealth of information. It’s also home to one of the Peanuts Around Town installations: the Elvis Nut! Rocking the signature glitzy costume and a cool hairdo, this is a must-see for Elvis fans.

Downtown Dothan

Downtown has several peanuts on display for your viewing pleasure. Check out the Downtown Peanut, which holds the directory sign to the bustling downtown area. It was the first peanut on public property and is a favorite with guests. The Paper Boy is located outside of The Dothan Eagle and is a fun nod to Dothan’s past.

Ross Clark Circle

Another favorite is the collection of peanuts representing the armed forces, each with a different design. They can be found on Ross Clark Circle, just outside the Tuffy Auto Service Center. They’re a fitting addition to the Peanuts Around Town project, given Dothan is just a quick trip away from Fort Rucker’s military base.

The Peanuts Around Town project is a fun and artistic way to represent Dothan’s agricultural ties. Be sure to check them all out!
