Visit the Long Island Telephone Museum and step back in time to when your mobile telephone was in the nearest phone booth, and your home phone was wired to the wall. Learn how Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Watson invented the telephone. Touch and try all the telephone artifacts through the decades.
In many other museums, things can only be seen. In our museum visitors can handle, listen to and touch authentic interactive exhibits and artifacts.
The Long Island Telephone Museum has numerous mannequins and animatronics to showcase our many displays on operations, service and the history of communications.
The Pioneers were formed in 1911 with the help of Alexander Graham Bell. Today it consists of active and retired employees who volunteer thousands of hours of community service each year.
Answering the Call of Those in Need
Founded by Ralf Krause, the museum is in space provided by the previous New York Telephone Company in 1990 and is now hosted by Verizon. All the exhibits have been created, constructed and are staffed by volunteers of New Vision Pioneers Paumanok Chapter #85
