  In August 2025, we visited the Sylvester and Lydia Stoddard Tinsmith home in Nauvoo, Illinois. We were in Nauvoo to see the Nauvoo Pageant, a theatrical performance that happens nightly during the Summer. Like all of the other exhibits in Nauvoo, the tinsmith exhibit does not cost anything. The displays and exhibits are cleverly arranged and they give a detailed account of the Stoddards life and tinsmith trade. The missionaries demonstrate how some of the tinsmith trade is performed. The home and tinsmith shop are clean, well-maintained, and cleverly organized and displayed. The Stoddard Tinsmith home is a highly enjoyable and memorable experience.

  I like how they showed us each step in the process with examples. Very educational.

  Early pioneers utilized this stunning element of the periodic table for noble acts of science. Tin buckets, tin pans, and more.

  I was really surprised about this stop. I thought tin what is so interesting about that? A lot. Have you ever wondered why tin cans have the lines around the the can but pop cans don't? That and a lot of other interesting facts all answered here.
