World's Largest Cuckoo Clock - Sugarcreek Ohio (Amish Country) (video 11:59 long)
(Ohio Historic Marker/Sign at 3:06 to 3:40 in, you can read the sign about the story of the clock)

The world’s largest cuckoo clock as declared by the Guinness Book of World Records (1977 cover)
is at the corner of Main and Broadway in Sugarcreek, Ohio – also known as “Little Switzerland of Ohio.”
This giant cuckoo clock is operational from 9am – 9pm
April through November.*
(*weather permitting)
It measures 23 feet tall by 24 feet wide.
On the half-hour,
its cuckoo bird pops out,
the band appears,
and a couple dance away to Swiss polka music.
I don't know for sure, but it might have been the first.
