River Falls, WI (Pierce County)
River Falls is a city in Pierce and St. Croix counties in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It is adjacent to the Town of River Falls in Pierce County and the Town of Kinnickinnic in St. Croix County. River Falls is the most populous city in Pierce County. The population was 15,000 at the 2010 census, with 11,851 residing in Pierce County and 3,149 in St. Croix County.
The city's first settlers were Joel Foster and his indentured servant, Dick, in 1848. The village was started as Kinnickinnic in 1854 by brothers Nathaniel N. and Oliver S. Powell, who were from St. Lawrence County, New York. At the time, the town and village were also known as Greenwood, but this was changed, as another Greenwood, Wisconsin already existed. The present name comes from the Kinnickinnic River rapids. (1)

World's Tallest Flagpole
Sheboygan, WI
So I read that the world's tallest flagpole was in Sheboygan, and since we were passing through town I had to at least get a glimpse of it. It's 338 feet tall, and it replaces an older pole that fell over and barely missed hitting the interstate.
Nine months after taking the photo, I was doing a little research while posting it--and found that the thing is famous for swaying noticeably in a light wind. (There are videos on YouTube!) It has since been stabilized.
