Though it may not be the world’s largest, this giant pencil in Casey, Illinois is still impressive. The No. 2 wood pencil measures 32.5 feet long and weighs over 500 pounds. It is available for viewing 24/7 for free.
I saw pictures where there use to be plexiglass over the tip that read “Do Not Climb Breakable”, but it was missing when we visited. Maybe the city decided people would use enough common sense to not climb it, accidentally stab themselves and then get lead poisoning.
