Tours can be developed in each topic for ages from 8-80+ years of age. All group tours must be scheduled through the Chair of the Board, Gigi Galassini.
The Gift Shop is open during Museum hours, offering a variety of New Mexico and telephone related gifts, jewelry and books.
Our purpose is to educate young and old alike to the history of the telephone in New Mexico and to preserve the legacy of the telephone people who built that industry in New Mexico.
In 1997, the "Museum room" moved to its current location and began involving volunteers retired from the various Bell System companies. The museum continues as a totally volunteer and self-supporting organization. In 2007, an endowment fund was established in order to continue the future of the Museum.
Switchboards, telephones, audio exhibits, photos gallery, display cases built-in and free-standing, and a resource center.
Telephone directories from 1916-current from almost every town in NM. Technical books, history books and diaries from telephone industry in NM. (by appt only--cannot be removed)
