Moreover, Graham’s warm and welcoming nature made our visit special. She goes above and beyond to ensure that each guest feels valued and included. Her passion for the subject matter is evident, and her enthusiasm is infectious. It’s clear that she genuinely enjoys sharing her knowledge and interacting with visitors, which greatly enhances the overall experience.

Highly recommended!

Excellent museum. Totally fascinating. When you consider the timeline of Alexander Bell inventing the phone and where we are today, it's mind-blowing. This unassuming telephone museum in little Warner NH has an extensive collection of telephones & I personally think these phones would easily be forgotten, and in fact not known to our younger generations, if not for this museum & others like it. The wonderful, extremely helpful women manning the helm were priceless. We brought my 10 year old nephew & it just so happened that the museum was offering a "scavenger hunt" for the younger visitors & that was the real highlight for him (and if I'm being honest, the adults enjoyed it almost as much as the 10 year old!)

He wasn't very interested and I really didn't get a chance to read all the information with the displays. Groupon had a discount ticket for sale, so I thought I would visit again. I'm glad I did. You can download the app and have a self guided tour. Staff was very friendly and Wi-Fi worked well. They had a bathroom which was clean and accessible for people with wheelchairs or mobility issues. Interactive displays were shut down due to covid-19. They even had displays where you would need your QR reader to access more information. They had displays showing the contributions of African Americans to the telephone industry. They currently have a small display about the railroad history around Warner. If you enjoy history and nostalgia, I would recommend a visit. Very young children may not be interested in this. Face mask required to...
