The World's Tallest Grandfather Clock

The World's Tallest Grandfather Clock in Kewaunee, WI stands as a unique and historic roadside attraction, originally designed in 1976 by Richard Kohrt to promote his business and attract tourists to the area. After facing neglect, a community effort led by Jason Jelinek successfully restored and relocated the clock to its current downtown location, where it continues to keep perfect time and delight visitors with its chimes and seasonal music.

This iconic landmark, standing at 35 feet 10 inches tall, serves as a testament to the dedication and support of local citizens who generously donated over $30,000 for its restoration and ongoing maintenance. The clock now stands proudly at the head of the Ahnapee Trail, surrounded by a pavilion park area, thanks to the collaborative efforts of craftsmen, construction companies, government officials, and supporters who volunteered their time and expertise to preserve this beloved piece of Americana.
