I found this one to be one of the most interesting World's Largest things, right up with the mailbox that you can go inside and the wind chimes that you can sound. Stop by and check them out.

Perfect for thrill-seekers and photo lovers, this giant seesaw offers a fun experience for visitors of all ages. While the teetering motion is available only when an attendant is present--usually Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., according to the sign--you can still climb to the top anytime for a unique view and photo op.

Probably a dozen of them here and there, all worth checking out, especially since this is only a couple of miles off I-70 between Terre Haute and Saint Louis. My favorite of the World's Largest things is this one, the World's Largest Mailbox. Aside from being huge, it is possible to actually go inside it and climb the stairs. Looking out the front flap (which opens and closes!), I could see down to the "Free Candy!" van parked over by the World's Largest Barber Pole. And yes, the World's Largest Mailbox does have a mail slot so you could send a real letter or postcard from here! [Review 19679 overall - 134 in Illinois - 651 of 2023.]

If you're driving on I-70 between Saint Louis and Terre Haute, this is an interesting and fun detour to stretch your legs instead of hitting up a rest area or truck stop. Most of the stuff is nearby this one. It is not actually the World's Largest. I spotted one in Oregon that is a whopping 72 feet tall though that one is not spinning or active.

Mike and Karen Roe bought the mill in 1995 and have worked feverishly to maintain and operate this 200 year old historical business. My husband and I visited the mill today and Mike spent an hour providing us with the fascinating history and tour of the mill, describing different types of ground flours and meals. He demonstrated how he mills grain. Today, the mill produces and sells a variety of different wheat flours, brans and corn meals. Grains are Amish sourced locally. I purchased blue corn meal, rare Einkorn flour, Miller's blend flour and wheat bran. I also bought a book about the local covered bridges. If you want to visit the mill, go during off peak time, before or after the Covered Bridge Festival. The crowds of tourists during the festival will make it difficult to enjoy and learn about the mill. And if you want to meet Mike, go soon, as he has the mill up for sale. Attached to the mill is a small snack bar that serves sandwiches, beverages and ice cream. The cheeseburgers are served on homemade wheat rolls and are juicy and delicious. Tables overlook the covered bridge and creek. The clerk/cook is friendly. The place is not fancy or upscale, but small town wonderful. There is no charge to visit the mill, although donations are requested to assist with repairs to the dam. Bridgeton Mill is a special place to visit and support a family-run business and learn about Indiana's history. There is plenty of parking and restroom are available.

When the owner passed away Stiffy found his owner's mausoleum and stood guard . Eventually the loyal pet passed away on his own and to protect the loyal pet from damage/vandalism, he was stuffed and now resides in the Vigo County museum. I am sure there is a lot more to the story, but you can research that on your own. If you are driving north on 7th, you can easily spot his mural on the side of the building. I find it delightful that there was such a bond between a man and his pet. Whenever you are in the area, be aware of the multiple images of Stiffy hat can be found around town including having his own beer! Review #3972
