About Connections Museum Seattle

Run by The Telecommunications History Group, this museum in Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood was formerly called the Herbert H. Warrick Jr. Museum of Communications. Its collection includes working electromechanical central-office switches, step-by-step and crossbar PBX gear, antique telephones, switchboards, and outside plant displays such as poles and cables. Volunteers can guide visitors through the exhibits, and a cataloged reference library serves researchers. Guided tours begin on demand, and a visit can take an hour or considerably longer for technically minded guests.
