I checked and too bad this is almost 3 hours from my sisters house in Washington....hardly worth the long drive just for the photo shoot!!! This is way cool.

Chester's giant teapot is self-proclaimed the largest in the world. The structure is 14 feet in diameter and approximately 14 feet tall. It was built in 1938 by converting an oversized root beer keg, once used as an ad for a Hire's Root Beer promotion. William Devon bought the barrel and made it into a teapot by covering it with tin and placing a large glass ball on top for the knob of the lid. A concession and souvenir stand were set up inside the teapot next to Devon's pottery outlet store. While the souvenirs have moved to the gas station across the street, the teapot was restored in the 1990s, making it a prime road trip stop.
