Boll Weevil Monument
 (1) The Boll Weevil Monument is located in Enterprise, Alabama. (2) This monument is considered the only monument that honors an agricultural pest. (3) Sometime between 1910 and 1919, the boll weevils made their way to Alabama and destroyed about 60% of the town’s cotton fields. (4) After getting advice from local scientists, many farmers decided to grow other crops, mainly peanuts. (5) Varying crops kept the farmers and the town from financial ruin. (6) In fact, the town prospered greatly, and the change in crops improved the soil.
(7) A local businessman named Bon Fleming thought the boll weevil deserved a monument for promoting change in the area. (8) In 1919, the monument was placed in the center of town to give thanks to the boll weevil for being a “herald to prosperity,” which is how the historical marker refers to the insect.
(9) The monument that was originally there, however, didn’t have a boll weevil on it. (10) The monument consisted of a Classical Greek woman holding a small fountain over her head. (11) In 1949, a man named Luther Baker thought a boll weevil should be a part of the monument. (12) He made one and put it on top of the fountain.
