Here you will find information on one my favorite Wynkoop family members, the noted contrarion, Tobias Wynkoop.

    Tobias was always pushing the envelope and as a result there are quite a few amusing stories about some of the escapades and scrapes he got into. Frankly, I really admire his spirit and his independent nature and I'm hoping you will too.

    If you know where I might find more stories about Tobias, I would love to hear about them! Please feel free to contact me at [email protected]. Tobias left some big shoes to fill and I'm looking for more stories to do just that.

    In the meantime, enjoy what I do have. Tobias was no Paul Bunyon, but he may be the closest thing the Wynkoop family comes to at the present time.

    All my best,

    Chris
