On the weekend of May 16, museum volunteers and board members powered up the switching equipment, cleaned floors and displays, and began organizing items in storage. We will be open for regular hours (10am to 4pm) starting the second Saturday in July through end of September. Note: we are closed Saturday, July 4th 2026 for the holiday. The History of the Independent Phone Companies in Maine continues to be on display in the visitor’s center. Please stop by if you missed it last year.
Volunteer Days are every third Saturday May through end of September. During volunteer days, we work on various projects with the phones and switching equipment, accession new donated equipment and paperwork, clean the buildings and grounds, work on public outreach, and more. Volunteer tour guides are especially requested to help lead visitors through the museum, discuss key points of telephone history, and provide demonstration of phones and switching equipment. No telephone industry experience is necessary; we will provide you with training. Also requested are volunteers to man the gift shop. Fill out a volunteer form if you would like to volunteer.
