Officially the world’s largest catsup (or ketchup) bottle, this landmark just outside Collinsville is pure, joyful Americana. It was built in 1949 to supply water to the nearby Brooks ketchup factory and was saved from demolition in the 1990s. It’s now owned by a group of volunteers dedicated to its preservation and has been restored and added to the National Register of Historic Places.
