George Washington’s Pie Town

In a quirky twist of patriotism, George, Washington, turns its name into a sweet, sizzling spectacle—literally. Since 1957, this tiny town has baked a half-ton cherry pie in honor of George Washington’s favorite dessert, using a custom brick oven and now boasting the world’s largest pie (8x8 feet, feeding 1,500+). The Georgettes, a local nonprofit, lead the charge, turning July 4th into a full-blown festival with fireworks, music, vendors, pie tastings, cherry pit spitting, and even a mobile history museum. Bonus: a presidential bust outside a truck stop and a concert venue just six miles away. It’s history, community, and pie—all rolled into one unforgettable small-town experience.
