Welcome to Robert Tinker's World! Join Tinker Swiss Cottage as we follow in the footsteps of former Rockford Mayor and Park District Commissioner, Robert Hall Tinker and his family. We will see many of the homes, businesses, and public buildings that they enjoyed visiting while they inhabited the Swiss Cottage. Along the way you will learn to recognize a number of different architectural styles and deepen your knowledge of history regarding the Forest City.

Come see southwest Rockford through the eyes of the Victorians on August 12th from 10-11:30am!

Tours start and end at the Barn. This is an approximately 1.5mile walking tour with some uneven ground. Please wear appropriate walking shoes to this event.
