2007 International Rally Tours

Sheboygan/50 Miles from Rally

Worlds Largest Flag Pole, Sheboygan

Interstate 43, 5 miles south of Sheboygan
Acuity Insurance, a Sheboygan-based insurer, raised the tallest flagpole in the United States on July 2, 2005. The steel pole is 338 feet high, 6 feet wide at the base, weighs 65 tons (without the flag), and is sunk into a 550-ton block of concrete that is 40 feet deep, 8 feet wide and reinforced by steel rods. The flag is 120 feet by 60 feet, or 7,200 square feet. Each star is 4 feet high and each stripe is 4 1/2 feet wide. It weighs 300 pounds.[6] This flag and flagpole out did an earlier Acuity record, a flag raised June 2, 2003, atop a 150 foot flagpole. The old pole toppled over due to stress and high winds, almost falling onto nearby Interstate 43. The new flagpole is designed with extra bracing and placed much farther from the highway
