There is currently construction on the site, but you can access the flag by going down to Union Street and taking a left. There are signs to direct you.
[Anna, 08/12/2020]Plenty of parking, unless your vehicle is over 40 feet long. Not much room to turn around.

From Interstate 43, it deceptively looks like an ordinary flagpole....

Mostly worth it for the drive there. It's so large, it's kind of an optical illusion from certain angles/distances. Nice to see insurance company profits used wisely.

When driving along Interstate 43 in Sheboygan you can't miss the largest flagpole in the U.S. The pole is 400 feet high and 11 feet in diameter. The flag is 120 x 60 feet.
