About Peachoid

The Peachoid is a 135-foot water tower built in 1981 to look like a peach, holding one million gallons of water beside Interstate 85 between exits 90 and 92. It carries a cleft, a stem and a seven-ton leaf, and artist Peter Freudenberg painted it to resemble real fruit. You can see it for miles from the highway, or pull off on Peachoid Road for a closer photo through the security fence.
