Telephone Museum May Need New Location in Lincoln

old-telephoneLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Frank H. Woods Telephone Pioneer Museum may need to find a new home in Lincoln.

The museum documents the history of the Lincoln Telephone and Telegraph Co and is named for the founder of the Lincoln phone company.

Windstream sold the museum property to Speedway Properties and Nelnet. Now, the property will be used to develop the new Telegraph District. Museum board member Kathy Dvorak says the museum must extend its lease or find a new place for its artifacts. Otherwise, it will close forever on March 31.

A Speedway representative told the newspaper that Speedway is willing to work with the museum on finding a way to make it a part of the redevelopment project.
