Tinker Swiss Cottage Museum was built in 1865 which provides a glimpse of the life of the 19th century. It combines exterior elements of a Swiss Chalet with elements from the Victorian era. A swing foot bridge razed in 1976 ran from the cottage crossing the Kent creek bluffs and was a popular place to visit for many years. From October 2004 until June 2005, Tinker Swiss Cottage Museum worked to rebuild the bridge. Designing of the new bridge and construction was done by Engineers Willett, Hofmann & Associates and Civil Constructors.
