Stoddard Tin Shop

This was one of the first tin smiths in the midwest to use patterns in making items made of tin. It also contains a most interesting mouse trap. You take a tin bucket, put a ramp of wood up to it, put a swinging board across the bucket full of water with a piece of cheese on it, and wait for the mouse to come and drown. I seriously considered using it to catch our mouse, but my companion took care of the problem.
