If you're in the area, it's right next to the highway and is a fun, historic, interesting place. The pics and stories last a lifetime.
We enjoyed our visit. We filled out a note to let them know we visited. I was surprised the following week we received a very nice card and information on the outhouse.
So nice of them to take the time to send this to us.
It is very fascinating to think about a two story outhouse and how it works! It is located in the little town of Gays. I have been here several times. The little area where it is located is very well maintained. One of these days I am going to stop to read all about it on the board that is located near the outhouse. Cross it off of your bucket list.
There is a fascinating history behind this structure and how it was once attached to a hotel. I am a bit puzzled as to why people think you should be able to use it and why it's locked. It is an attraction not a rest stop. Read the board a get a load of its history. It is well kept and a great novelty. Many years ago Spencer Gifts sold a poster that had teachers on the top and students on the bottom. If you are driving through I highly recommend it.
Sometimes, I wonder if the “monster under the bed” thing applies to bunk beds, where the monster under the top bunk would have to be on the bottom bunk, leaving the person on the bottom bunk having to snuggle up with a creature of unspeakable horror. Taking this into account, I hope this outhouse doesn’t work like I think it does.
This is a really cute & interesting, right off the main road before you get to Shelbyville or Mattoon, Il. small but has a really neat history worth of 5 minutes stop if you're in the area ????
Interesting little historical building. Nice little park with historical articles and information. Interesting odd building with a functional past. There isn't anything else at the park but it is just a little bit off the interstate so can be worth the time to go see it, plus it is an unusual and unique sight and something that you just don't think would have existed.
This place is an odd tourist attraction it's great for a little village of 300 people it keeps people coming through to check out the outhouse if you love oddity attractions check out this place. It has a display board with all types of interesting information about the site.
