World's Largest Badger
Route 45, Birnamwood
The World's Largest Badger once stood atop a mound-shaped gas station where the gas pumps were located inside a mammoth hallow log. The station, unfortunately, closed years ago, but the new owners had the good humor to plant the badger neck-deep next to Route 45.

World's Largest Penny
3rd Avenue and Hemlock Street, Woodruff
The 10-foot, 17,452-pound penny was erected in honor of Dr. Kate Newcomb. Newcomb spearheaded a fund-raising effort for the Lakeland Memorial Hospital called the "Million Penny Parade." This effort encouraged people around the nation to send 1 cent to Newcomb so she could provide health care to local people. The hospital received (or so the story goes) $105,000 -- that's 10,500,000 pennies -- from Newcomb's "copper campaign."
