[5] In 1975, the Peanut Statue was constructed in Ashburn and was then considered an official state monument in 1998.

The woods that the original peanut was next to was cleared out, and the small picnic table as seen in the first image was presumably destroyed by Hurricane Michael, the same hurricane that destroyed the original peanut statue.

The small tower constructed of brick was reused for the newer peanut statue, as was the crown.

As of the 2020 United States census, there were 4,291 people, 1,500 households, and 1,061 families residing in the city.
