Those who visit Casey, Illinois, will quickly notice that it’s home to an unusually large number of giant objects, and that’s essentially put the town on the map. According to Atlas Obscura, its 55-foot tall wind chime is a Guinness World Record holder, as is the 56-foot tall rocking chair pictured at left towering over an adult person.
But while these examples made waves in the record books, they’re only a sample of the giant objects that the town has added to its eccentric collection of landmarks. Alongside this giant mailbox that opens and closes with a cable winch, there’s a giant golf tee, a giant bird cage, and giant knitting needles, to name a few.
