  World's Largest Apple

  Winchester, VA

  Winchester’s giant red apple began as a parade float for the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival before being permanently placed on the lawn of the historic Sheridan’s Headquarters property. The exact fabrication year is not clearly documented in current sources, but the apple has become a longstanding symbol of the region’s orchard industry and remains visible from the downtown street.
