Founder and curator Stephen Mullins has turned his childhood collection of Toby Jugs into a quirky Evanston destination. The 4,000 square-foot space holds over 6,000 Toby Jugs, some dating back as far as the early 1700s. The ceramic mugs, once used for pouring ales, are now a historic reflection of Americana at its best. Among the cultural themes represented here are arts, politics and entertainment. While the vintage jugs are undoubtedly the most interesting, current pop-culture figures are fun to look at, too. Even the kids will get a kick out of jugs crafted like Harry Potter, Spiderman, Star Wars characters, Garfield the Cat, Miss Piggy and Dogbert. Tours are free, call ahead for an appointment.
