Craig, Missouri: Toilet Yard Art

Just plug Ward Street, Craig, Missouri, into your GPS and it will bring you right to the Toilet Yard Art. I thought it was great.

Don't dump on this fun art in-stall-ation. You don't have to flush your money down the toilet to plop on by, and there's no need for a deposit. I hear it's the "number two" art exhibit in the state. I think you can even see a full moon occasionally from here, along with Uranus. It's a crap shoot whether or not you meet Ronnie Haer, the king of the throne, but you'll feel like you're holding a royal flush if you do. It's a fun break if you're driving through, no s--t (Pardon my potty mouth). Public restroom not available.

Needs a lot of work. This place was a mess. Not worth the short detour.

What a crappy site to see! In the middle of this tiny town on US 59 you see a carefully placed garden of toilets. Many more have been added since 2016. And the house next door has a family of mannequins in the picture window dressed in Christmas sweaters. I had to do a double take; hilarious! I will be stopping in the daytime on my return trip for a better photo for sure!

Thank you Ronnie Haer! The owner came out to meet us and showed us around and even posed for a picture. Hint, there are newspapers stashed in the mailbox to enhance the photo opportunity. It's surrounding a bricked fire pit that Ronnie promises can host a unique gathering spot on occasions.
