World's Largest Cuckoo Clock: Wilmot, Ohio

The World's Largest Cuckoo Clock is 23.5 feet across.

One of many tourist magnets at the Swiss-theme Alpine Homestead Restaurant, this intricate 23.5-foot-tall cuckoo clock was constructed in 1972 and has been in heated competition with the Bavarian Clock Haus in Frankenmuth, Michigan, for the title. (Wilmot supporters argue that a house can't be considered a true clock.)

The place is also a cheese factory, as the clock attests, in more ways than one.
