In 2010, the 23-ft. tall "World's Largest Cuckoo Clock" was moved from its old haunt in Wilmot in 2010 to Sugarcreek. It was bought by Walnut Creek Cheese and donated to the other Swiss-themed tourist town.
Its original location was a restaurant called Alpine-Alpa in Wilmot, known variously as "Cuckoo Clock Capital of America," "Ohio's Showplace of Cheesemaking," and "Ohio's Switzerland Wonderland."
The big timepiece was outdoors, built on the roof in back of the restaurant. Every hour, little plaster people moved around on tracks to Bavarian music played by the five piece robot oompa band.
A cuckoo clock in Frankenmuth, Michigan, is larger.
