Yale, Illinois: Mug Tree (Gone)
A big sign identified the Mug Tree, and with all of the mugs it's hard to miss. It was cut down, sort of, then topped with a tree outhouse. Then a 2018 storm knocked down the whole thing.

The Mug Tree was not cut down completely. The limbs were removed because of rot. During that process the mugs were removed to avoid damage to them. They have now been restored, although there may be fewer now because some were vandalized.
[Ray King, 04/13/2010]Loved the mug tree. Drove past 12/26/2009 and it is being CUT DOWN! All the mugs are gone! It is a travesty. My family and I always liked driving by and checking out the mugs.

The Mug Tree was established 9-4-03 along Rt.49 just 1 mile south of Yale, IL. It holds hundreds of mugs which people can trade or just leave their own. There is also a mailbox with a guest book to log your visit.
