Jefferson Barracks Telephone Museum and its collection

Jefferson Barracks Telephone Museum
Source

Housed in a restored 1896 building, the museum features an extensive collection of telephones manufactured from the late 1880s through the 2010s, hundreds of pieces of telephone-related equipment, artifacts from 1880s through the 2000s and military telephones from WWI through the Gulf War. It is located in Jefferson Barracks Park, a 15-minute drive south of downtown St. Louis. The self-guided, accessible museum has many hands-on, how-things-work exhibits. The exhibits were created to inspire an interest in engineering and history. Guided tours are available for groups of 10 or more and should be scheduled at least two weeks before the tour.

Jefferson Barracks Telephone Museum Reviews

Jefferson Barracks Telephone Museum has 1 rating.

  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    The Jefferson Barracks Telephone Museum in St. Louis offers visitors an interesting look into the history of telecommunications. The museum houses a large collection of telephones and related equipment, spanning from early models to more modern devices. Many visitors appreciate the well-organized displays and the knowledgeable volunteers who provide informative tours. The museum's collection is particularly appealing to those interested in technology and communications history.

    However, some visitors note that the museum is relatively small and may not engage those who don't have a specific interest in telephones or telecommunications. The location, within the historic Jefferson Barracks, adds some charm but can be a bit out of the way for some tourists.

    Overall, the Jefferson Barracks Telephone Museum provides a niche experience that caters well to its target audience but may not be a top priority for all visitors to St. Louis.
