Every Tuesday until 2 p.m., volunteers give free tours of this old telephone station.
I'd tell you what I learned, but most of it went over my head. But still I had fun looking at all the displays of cool old stuff.
Cordless phone circa 1964.
Remember this voice?

This is awesome! Who would've known this existed? I'm gonna have to tell my bro about this. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this! I used to live right across the alley next door - I only wish they were open on weekends!
ReplyDeleteThey even repaired our old phone when we took it over there!
I love this museum, and recently wrote about it myself. I link to a great Flickr set, if you want to see even more awesome photos of the place. ~Ben Lukoff
ReplyDeletePS to Old Foghi: you can also get in by appointment, so you're not stuck with Tuesday mornings.
