The World's Largest Catsup Bottle® stands proudly next to Route 159, just south of downtown Collinsville, Illinois. This unique 170 ft. tall water tower was built in 1949 by the W.E. Caldwell Company for the G.S. Suppiger catsup bottling plant - bottlers of Brooks old original rich & tangy catsup.

In 1995, due to the efforts of the Catsup Bottle Preservation Group, this landmark roadside attraction was saved from demolition and beautifully restored to its original appearance.

Recognized the world over as an excellent example of 20th century roadside Americana, the World's Largest Catsup Bottle regularly garners national attention and attracts visitors and tourists every day.

In August of 2002 it was named to the National Register of Historic Places.

  • Wouldn’t go out of my way to see it but being in the area had to stop and take a picture. I like to see unusual sites as we once visited Casey, il and saw all the supposedly largest item.

  • A fun little stop if you are in the area. Great for photo ops for the gram. 😂 It's wonderfully kitschy and pure Americana. Definitely worth a visit if it's not out of your way.
  • Cool roadside attraction if you are in Collinsville, Illinois. Did you know that they have a fans club. Lots of fun taking pictures.
