The story
The Connections Museum Seattle (formerly the Herbert H. Warrick Jr. Museum of Communications; originally the Vintage Telephone Equipment Museum) is located in Lumen's Duwamish Central Office at East Marginal Way S. and Corson Avenue S. in Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood. It "reveals the history of the telephone and the equipment that makes it all work." It features vintage equipment from AT&T, Western Electric, Pacific Northwest Bell, USWest, and other organizations. The museum was originally sponsored by the Washington Telephone Pioneers, and is now a part of Telecommunications History Group, based in Denver, along with Connections Museum Colorado and THG Archives (also in Denver).
