Description: The "World's Largest Ball of Twine" is located in Darwin, Minnesota, USA. This famous roadside attraction is a massive ball of twine that has been continuously added to by one man, Francis A. Johnson, over several decades. The ball of twine in Darwin was started by Francis A. Johnson in 1950, and he continued adding to it until his death in 1989. After his passing, the residents of Darwin took over the tradition of adding twine to the ball in his memory. The ball of twine now weighs several tons and has a circumference of over 40 feet (12 meters). It has become a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from across the country who come to see this unique and quirky sight. There's even an annual Twine Ball Day celebration in Darwin to honor the ball and its creator.
