Big Gust the tallest guy in Grantsburg, you know, sorta like Paul Bunyan only the shorter Wisconsin version.  

Big Gust Anderson resided in Grantsburg for about 25 years before he died in 1926. He was an outstanding character of human stature. The 7 1/2 foot giant became well known as the village Marshall and old lamp lighter. A wooden statue of "Big Gust", carved by Alf Olson, is located in front of the Community Center building at 416 South Pine Street. Stop to see the statue of "Big Gust" and listen to him tell his story.
