TSCM is excited to announce our latest exhibit: Traveling Tinkers: Westward Expansion! 

Join us as we embark on a journey west of the Mississippi River! This exhibit will focus on Robert's Colorado ranch, as well as the Tinkers' visits with Indigenous populations of the Southwest.

This is the second of a series of four exhibits dedicated to the history of the Tinker family's travels.
