Boll Weevil Monument, Bronze and iron memorial in Enterprise, Alabama, US
The Boll Weevil Monument features a female figure holding a raised pedestal topped with a representation of the agricultural insect pest.
Erected in 1919, this monument recognizes how the cotton-destroying insect influenced farmers to switch to peanut cultivation, transforming local agriculture.
The monument stands as a symbol of agricultural transformation, representing the determination of farmers who adapted their practices during economic challenges.
Located at the intersection of Main and College Streets, the current monument displays a polymer-resin replica to prevent damage from recurring vandalism.
This 13-foot-tall structure remains the first and only monument in the world dedicated to an agricultural pest that changed farming methods.
