Casey, Illinois first world record was achieved on December 15, 2011 with the erection of the World’s Largest Wind Chime.
The structure is 56 feet tall and the largest wind chime measures 42 feet long and weighs 486.36 lbs. The other 4 chimes measure 39 feet (451.62 pounds), 36.13 feet (416.88 pounds), 33.25 feet (382.14 pounds) and 30 feet (347.40 pounds). Creator’s stars were added as braces to add support to the structure. It can be viewed for free 24/7.
For added fun you can pull a rope and make the chimes sound. Whitling Whimsy is a cute little cafe next door with some yummy food and reasonably priced souvenirs.
