Visible from a considerable distance, the flagpole is located on Acuity's campus along Interstate 43. The flagpole is nearly 100 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty, making it the Guinness World Record Holder for America's tallest symbol of freedom. At 70 by 140 feet, it's also the world's largest free-flying American flag.
Flags are taken down at the first sign of wear, such as tearing along the seams. A professional seamstress uses an industrial-grade sewing machine kept at Acuity to make repairs.
A Veterans Memorial at the base of the flagpole features the names of Sheboygan County residents killed in active duty, going all the way back to the Civil War. There are more than 750 inscribed pavers at the base of the pole.The pavers were intentionally placed in the shape of a teardrop.
