Visiting Casey, IL

A few months ago, I heard about this little town in Illinois named Casey. It is home to many world’s largest items. I knew that it was the kind of quirky place that we would love. But, when would we go? We have a LOT on our plate right now, which really is the perfect time to get away. Scott took a day off of work, and away we went.

They are currently getting the world’s largest golf club and twizzle stick certified. Most all of the items are within walking distance of each other. So, wear some comfy shoes. The town is covered in beautiful flowers. You can tell they work hard to keep their place beautiful.

I think the rocking chair was probably my favorite. It’s massive! Currently, they are selling tickets for someone to win the chance to SIT in the chair!

These knitting needles are inside of a store called The Farmer’s Wife. It is such a cute shop!

This cute candy shop is home to the world’s largest wooden shoes. You can toss money inside of them to donate to the local food pantry.

The second floor of this building is home to a little year-round Christmas store.

After a short drive, you can find the World’s largest golf tee and pitchfork. The pitchfork is next to Richards Farm Restaurant. There is a gazebo full of swings and tons of pretty flowers.

We made a stop to see the giant book worm in from the of the library. Of course, I had to go inside and see the library, too. It is in a beautiful building that was built in 1937.

We drove again and followed the map to find the giant baseball bat and the twizzle spoon.

I love that each world’s largest and giant item has a verse from scripture on it. It’s a sweet touch and shows that they really put a LOT of thought into what they are doing in town.

They are in the process of getting certified with more world’s largest items! I can’t wait to go back and see all of the new additions. The girls all had a blast exploring the town and seeing all that it had to offer.

There are so many cute shops to walk through, cafes to eat in, and ice cream and candy to treat yourself with. They also have golf cart rentals so you can drive through town if walking is difficult for you.

If you are looking for BIG fun in a small town, you should definitely stop in and visit. It is worth the trip!
