The New Hampshire Telephone Museum (NHTM) kicked off its 2014 “4th Phridays at the Phone Museum” series in May with a presentation sponsored by the New Hampshire Humanities Council.  Dr. Herman Tavani presented Privacy in Cyberspace, a thought-provoking look at the issue of maintaining our privacy while reaping the benefits of using the Internet.  His presentation sparked a lively discussion among audience members.

Next up is a presentation about the Flood of ’36 and the Hurricane of ’38.  This program takes place on Friday, June 27, and is part of a collaboration called Along the River: Exploring Community Connections along the Lane, Warner, Contoocook, and Merrimack Rivers.  NHTM has worked with seven other organizations on this project, which consists of seven different exhibits and nearly two dozen programs throughout the summer and early fall.

The Telephone Museum’s exhibit focuses on the impact of the floods on communications in the Warner, Bradford, and Hopkinton area.  For more information, visit AlongTheRiver.org.

The 4th Phridays at the Phone Museum series runs through the month of October and includes a variety of events – classic car night, movie night, and several other interesting presentations.  Visit NHTelephoneMuseum.com for the complete schedule.

The museum offers free parking and is handicapped accessible.  It is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 AM to 4 PM.  Stop by and see why people say “Wow!” when they walk through the door.

The New Hampshire Telephone Museum seeks to inspire curiosity by engaging a broad public audience in exhibitions and programs based on its remarkable and expanding collection.  The Museum preserves the past and tells the stories of the telecommunications industry.  Established by the generosity of six families, it opened to the public in 2005 and features the collection of Alderic O. “Dick” Violette of Warner.  Visit NHTelephoneMuseum.com for more information.
