This Roadside Attraction In Texas Is The Most Unique Thing You’ve Ever Seen
From the world’s largest pair of cowboy boots to an enormous fire hydrant with Dalmatian spots, we have some pretty bizarre roadside attractions in Texas – however, I think a museum consisting entirely of decorated toilet seats just might take the cake. Here’s everything you need to know about this oddity in San Antonio.
Barney Smith, the creator and owner of the museum, is a retired plumber who was inspired one day on the job to start turning old toilet seats into art.
A house he was working in had about 50 toilet seats out by the street for heavy trash, and he suddenly had the idea to ask the owners if he could take them.
The art ranges from personal aspects of Barney's life like his eye surgery and late wife, Louise, to tributes to national tragedies like the JFK assassination.
He even payed homage to his dentist with this seat featuring molds, pliers, and other dental equipment. I think you'd be hard-pressed to come up with something that he DOESN'T have a seat for!

She attended college in the Houston area and changed her major twice (psychology, computer science, and finally criminal justice) before taking a leap of faith and dropping out to pursue a career in freelance writing.
Today, Katie writes for the Texas and Arizona pages of OnlyInYourState.com and has never been more passionate about a job before. Outside of work, you can likely find her curled up on the sofa with a hot cup of coffee, watching a crime TV show or scary movie.
