While on a motor coach (bus) tour from the Chicago area to visit sights along Route 66 our tour company chose the Telephone Museum for a stop and we are glad they did. It was one of the most interesting stops on our trip. Their collection of telephones and related exhibits are wonderful. Each item is tagged with a complete description. The best asset of the museum is the docents. Both were former telephone company employees and have a vast knowledge and share it it a worthwhile presentation. Carol was our docent and she is not only knowledgeable but also has a great sense of humor.
Excellent restoration of the barracks and use of the space at Jefferson Barracks. Just one small part of the whole Jefferson Barracks park area experience and other museums. The guide and reception were terrific and very helpful!
if you love to see how things work, you will get a lot outmof your visit. The volunteers are very knowledgeable and explain very well. It is of extra inerest to those of us old enough 70ish because we lived thru and used the ever evolving technology that is on display.
They have really done an excellent job of restoring Jefferson barracks into a great museum. The film presentations are great. The community, volunteers and museum board should be very proud.
This is a great Museum in a nicely restored building. Carol was a wonderful and very knowledgeable museum guide. I really enjoyed the working stepper central office switch. Thanks to all the volunteers that make this possible!
What a fantastic tour and a trip down memory lane! Great variety of artifacts and very knowledgeable docents. Kids got to see phones from across history and make a few rotary phone calls, as well. Lots of inter workings of phone to see.
