"In the hamlet of Darwin stands what is indisputably Minnesota's greatest monument to the archetypal human urge to collect: the World's Largest Ball of Twine. It is only one of the many achievements realized by Francis A. Johnson, who passed away at the end of a long life of collection. During odd moments in his career as a farmer, he claimed to have squirreled away some 5,000 pencils, 200 feed caps, and untold number of wooden ice-cream containers and paddle locks."
