Casey, IL - Worlds Largest Rocking Chair, Wind Chime, Shoes, Golf Tee
Today while traveling West toward St. Louis to visit Jeannie’s brother Bob and wife Carol, we saw signs on Rt 70 for the World’s Largest Wind Chime, and Golf Tee. Since we were slightly ahead of schedule, decided to stop and have a look.
Much to our pleasant surprise, the town of Casey, IL was a very nice quaint town with a slogan of ‘A small town with BIG things’! Not only did they have the World’s Largest Wind Chime, but also the largest Golf Tee, Shoes, Pitch Fork and Rocking Chair with many others in the works…

6 Guinness World Record Attempts In Casey, IL. - More Big Things In A Small Town + Teeter Totter
6 Guinness World Record Attempts In Casey, IL. - More Big Things In A Small Town + Teeter Totter!
Casey, Illinois, is no stranger to setting Guinness World Records! The town is home to the World's Largest Rocking Chair and World's Largest Wind Chimes, along with several other big things. These Big Things In A Small Town have attracted a lot of interest and tourism, and the people of Casey aren't finished adding new big things to their list.
Thanks to some new items created by Jim Bolin and his crew from Bolin Enterprises, the Guinness World Records organization sent Adjudicator Mike Marcotte to Casey, Illinois on Saturday, September 28, 2019. Mr. Marcotte's mission was to measure and judge whether these six new things would qualify as the World's Largest of their kind. It was an exciting day for the town of approximately 2,700 people, and several residents, out-of-towners, and members of the media turned out to witness the proceedings.
What Mike Marcotte had to judge were these six, hopefully world's largest, big things that Jim Bolin had crafted: teeter totter, barber pole, golf club, key, swizzle spoon, and gavel. Did all six of the items achieve World's Largest status with Guinnes World Records? Maybe, but to find out for sure, please watch the video!

Day Two, just after leaving Indiana we catch Illinois route 1 north, we are heading for the town of Casey were they have a lot of big things for such a small town. We had stopped in Casey in 2014 to see the Worlds Largest Wind Chime. While Looking for a place to take a break we discovered they had some new Worlds Largest things. It is a fun stop but unfortunately like a lot of places the downtown businesses close at 5:00 PM and we arrived after that.

TOUR CAVE IN ROCK PT 2
History
From the 1790s to the 1870s, the area around Cave-in-Rock was plagued by what historians as early as the 1830s referred to as the Ancient Colony of Horse-Thieves, Counterfeiters and Robbers, and better known today due to Otto Rothert's history early in the 20th century as the Outlaws of Cave-in-Rock.
In 1790, counterfeiters Philip Alston and John Duff (or John McElduff) used the cave as some type of rendezvous, though details are scarce. Although folklore printed in 19th century histories failed to establish a prior connection between the two men, both had lived in the area of Natchez, Mississippi, at the start of the Revolutionary War.
Duff was living upriver a few miles, either at Battery Rock or across the Ohio River at what would become Caseyville, Kentucky, when in 1797 Samuel Mason moved his base of operations from Diamond Island and Red Banks to the cave and made it the home of river pirates. Two of Mason's brothers had been business partners of Duff in Kaskaskia, Illinois, in the 1780s. Mason created a combination tavern, gambling den, brothel, and criminal refuge.[13] His men lured in gullible river travelers and then robbed and killed them.[13]
James Wilson, also known as Bully Wilson, may actually have been an alias for Samuel Mason, the next leader of the gang after Mason's hasty departure, or possibly the front man for Mason's operation. He may be the Wilson who married one of Mason's nieces. In 1799, he hung a sign over the cave's entrance saying Wilson's Liquor Vault and House for Entertainment. Information by -
