Blood & Biohazard Cleanup Near West Casey Casey, IL

Casey is a city in east-central Illinois lying mostly in Clark County, with a small portion extending into Cumberland County, just south of Interstate 70.

Casey's name is pronounced KAY-zee by locals.

Casey had a population of 2,404 at the 2020 census, living in 1,054 households, down from its peak of 3,026 residents in 1980.

Casey is famous for its Big Things in a Small Town collection of oversized sculptures, built by local businessman and craftsman Jim Bolin of Bolin Enterprises to draw visitors and revive the town's economy.

Bolin has built fourteen objects certified by Guinness World Records as the largest of their kind, beginning with the World's Largest Wind Chime, completed in 2011 and standing about 54 feet tall, built partly from used pipeline pipe.

Casey's World's Largest Rocking Chair stands about 56.5 feet tall and weighs more than 46,000 pounds.

Casey's World's Largest Mailbox, about 32 feet tall, is fully functional: visitors can climb up and send real mail from it, and its giant red flag goes up when there is outgoing mail.

Other Guinness-certified giants in Casey include the world's largest golf tee at 30 feet and 6,659 pounds, the world's largest pitchfork, wooden shoes, golf driver at 45 feet, a spinning barbershop pole, and an 82-foot teeter totter, certified in 2019, that visitors can actually ride.

Nearly 30 oversized sculptures now stand around Casey, most of them within a few blocks of downtown, and each of Bolin's record pieces carries a plaque with a verse from Christian scripture.

Casey is also home to the USA Softball of Illinois Hall of Fame Museum.
