A Unique Toilet Seats Top Toilet Seats Museum?

Unique toilet seats and top toilet seats have always interested me. It's not as odd as you think when you consider that I grew up in Worcester, Massachusetts, original home of the American Sanitary Plumbing Museum better know as the Toilet Museum. A couple of years ago the Toilet Museum moved down the road to Watertown, Massachusetts but I moved to Hopkinton, MA, so it's still close by.

The Toilet Museum was started by Charles Manoog, owner of a successful plumbing supply business in Worcester. Charles' son Russell and his wife Bettejane continued to run the museum until 2008, when they donated its plumbing artifacts to a Watertown concern.


Coincidentally, the Manoogs were our summertime neighbors in Hyannisport, so that's just another connection I have to the Toilet Museum. One of the Manoog kids was allergic to sea water so they built this huge swimming pool for her in their back yard. We all had loads of fun there.

No one appreciated a unique toilet seat as much as Russell Manoog. You can read the story about his Toilet Museum here.
