Abilene, KS 67410

Abilene is the home of a museum that salutes the nearly 6,000 babiest of the baby Bells, the independent telephone company. At one time, there were nearly 6,000 small local telephone companies. Some, such as Abilene's United Telephone Company (founded by local whiz-kid Cleyson Brown) grew up to be mighty empires. Brown's UTC eventually became US Sprint.

Displays include telephone equipment, telephone-related sheet music and one of the world's largest collections of glass insulators.
