Housed in a beautifully restored 1896 building, the museum features an extensive collection of telephones manufactured from the late 1880s through 2000s, hundreds of pieces of telephone-related equipment and memorabilia and military telephones from WWI through the Vietnam War. It is located in the historic Jefferson Barracks Park, a 15 minute drive south of downtown St. Louis.
