The people of Bedford thought that the Big Pot might have one more jolt left in it, and preservationists managed to save the Coffee Pot in 2003. The Bedford County Fair Association paid $1 to purchase it, and the Lincoln Highway Heritage Park Corridor, an attraction preservation group, spent $80k to move the building across the street to the fairgrounds and restore it in 2004.
Looks great today, though not quite the same effect as a working coffee shop. Helpful signs don’t let you forget it is an example of “programmatic architecture” along the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor.
