The American Toby Jug Museum - Evanston, IL

Truly one of the most unique collections I have ever laid my eyes on. The American Toby Jug Museum is the world's largest collection of Toby Jugs - bizarre character jugs with a history that spans hundreds of years, but its primary origin began in the mid-1700's. Steve Mullins started this Toby Jug collection in 1947 and today the museum houses a collection of over 8,000 Toby Jugs - that includes the largest, smallest, and oldest Toby Jugs on Earth. And the best part - the admission is Free! Sketchbook Brewery down the street also collaborated with the museum to brew Stingo - the distinct Ale from the 18th century that a Toby Jug is famous for pouring!
