This Big Thing is recorded as still being here.
Spokes is a 36-foot-wide, 14-foot-tall steel arch built from more than 20 donated bicycles (including a high-wheel penny-farthing and a five-seater), marking the entrance to the Tennessee Central Heritage Rail Trail in Cookeville's West Side historic district. Installed in 2018, it was created by sculptor Brad Sells with collaborators Abraham Pardee, David Fricke, and Anthony Ford, in partnership with Art Round Tennessee, the City of Cookeville, and Stone Steel.

World's Largest Cedar Bucket
Murfreesboro, Tennessee
A cedar bucket built in 1887 by the Tennessee Red Cedar Woodenworks Company of Murfreesboro as a promotional piece, billed as the world's largest. Accounts say it appeared at the 1893 Chicago and 1904 St. Louis world's fairs. After the factory burned (reported as 1950 or 1952), it was displayed elsewhere, and it returned to Murfreesboro in 1976 for display at Cannonsburgh Village. It burned in 2005 in an apparent arson, and a rebuilt bucket was unveiled there in 2011.
