This little gem is tucked back off the main road, close to the Eisenhower Museum. One portion of the museum is devoted to the history of the telephone. There is an excellent collection and display of phones, insulators, and switchboard equipment. (Made me think of the stories my Grandma would tell of having a party line and people listening in!) a Kansas history timeline is in another portion with antiques and artifacts from various periods. Outside is an original Parker Carousel (you can ride!) and steam organ...these have quite a tale to tell! Also outside is a relocated log cabin owned by a family from the area, in addition to other outbuildings creating a small "town." Enjoy a step back in time!

This is a small county history center, museum and outdoor historic area. The women working in the reception area where very friendly and helpful. The museum includes a Museum of Independent Telephony and an outdoor display of old buildings. The best part of the outdoor exhibit was the old carousel. We didn't pay the little bit extra to ride it, but another couple that was there at the same time did. We had fun even watching and listening to the music! A nice small history center!

This has many different histories in one place. The telephone and local history collides and make for a fun trip down memory lane.

This is a nice set of museums to go to. It is a three in one set of museums. First you have the Historical Museum, which tell s the history of Abilene and Dickinson County. The second is the Museum of Independent Telephony, which has all sorts of things related to the telephone and has some cool exhibits. Out back is a small village with an old house, barn, grocery store and blacksmith shop. I liked looking at all the old machinery. The highlight is the old restored carousel that you can ride on. The admission price was very reasonable, plus AAA members get a discount. This is definitely a place to check out while you are in Abilene.

We spent an hour here and could have spent more time. Telephone exhibits were fascinating along with Wild Bill Hickok information when he was Marshall of Abilene. Make sure you step out the backdoor and visit little village restored. We loved the general store and the old items they have in there.

We visited this museum on a vacation in which we were touring Kansas and this museum did not disappoint. For the most part Kansas museums all hold similar artifacts and share stories, however the phone gallery was AMAZING! With phones and booths you could actually touch and try I can see this being a very kid friendly museum! It was VERY hot outside so we rushed through the outside buildings a little but they were worth the heat. I had never seen a windmill head so close before! And don't for get the carousel!! For $5 it was a well worth it ride! Authentic music and it is a relatively long ride! And on your way out be sure to pick up some "Old Fashioned Taffy"!

We stopped here because we've seen the signs so often for the Museum of Independent Telephony and we were curious. The museum itself was very interesting and well laid out. It was a lot more fun than the title might suggest. What we didn't realize was that the museum was a part of the heritage center, which houses many more attractions. There are history exhibits inside (in addition to the telephony museum) and outside there are period buildings to explore. The best part was the carousel. It was well worth the extra $2 to take a ride. We highly recommend this place!

Carousel by C W Parker! In full working order. And that includes the Model T transmission which will give you one hell of a spin in second gear! The grounds are great and lots to look at. The Telephone museum is great. It takes a couple hours to tour this museum.

I had not gone to the telephone museum for ages so when a visiting family member said they would like to see it, I was not real supportive. What a shock! It is now called the Heritage Center and it is a great place. The exhibits were well done and impressive. Once outside there was a huge area of buildings and old cars/farm equipment, and even a chicken coop. My wife fell is love with a metal swing. The old Merry go round was up and running and the worker went way beyond the call of duty by explaining the entire process to us and encouraging photos and fun. He even walked around the grounds with us and pointed out things we would have never seen. The cost was fantastic and I would highly recommend you stop by the Heritage Center next time you are in Abilene.
