Wouldn’t go out of my way to see it but being in the area had to stop and take a picture. I like to see unusual sites as we once visited Casey, il and saw all the supposedly largest item.

A fun little stop if you are in the area. Great for photo ops for the gram. 😂 It's wonderfully kitschy and pure Americana. Definitely worth a visit if it's not out of your way.
