Connections Telephone Museum


For his birthday, Dennis wanted to go to a telephone museum.  For years, he had been driving past this non-descript 1960s era building with a sign that said a telephone museum was open Sunday afternoons.  He stopped in there the other week and loved it.  All this phone stuff, all these things from our past that we've forgotten about.  They have a lot of it working including a working switch set that was operational from the 1920s until the 1960s.  They claim it's the only one working i the country.  Sarah, a young woman who looks like she's been through a lot, has taken on this equipment and has figured out how it works.  Fortunately they had a lot of the old wiring diagrams.  They even have the vintage waste basket that goes with it.  The museum has the upper two floors of the building and they have a lot there.  Here Naomi and Dennis with our tour guide.  Susanna and I came along also.
