First built in 1887 as a promotional item by the Tennessee Red Cedar Woodenworks Company, the World's Largest Cedar Bucket measures about 6 feet (1.82 meters) tall with a 6 feet  (1.82 meters) base and 9 feet (2.74 meters) at the top with a capacity to hold about 1566 gallons (5927.95 liters) of water. The original Bucket was burned in 2005 by arsonists but was restored to its former glory by the Rutherford County Blacksmith Association in October, 2011 just before the Murfreesboro’s Bicentennial Celebrations.
