The Caselli Pantelegraph is on display at the National Museum of Science and Technology of Milan, Italy. The Pantelegraph conceived by the abbot, Giovanni Caselli, was a system of sending and receiving images over long distances by means of electrochemistry. The Pantelegraph was first used in 1865. The machine on display in the Museum is a working model that was built for the 1932 Chicago Exhibition. Be sure to check out the rest of the museum's site!

The Georgia Museum of Agriculture (Agrirama) - Tifton, Georgia
When you visit the historic Agrirama, you journey back to another time, and for a little while, enjoy exploring a different and more peaceful world. The people in our community range from the wealthy merchant, to the homespun doctor, to the isolated farm family of the wiregrass area. You will see men and women performing daily tasks as their ancestors did over a hundred years ago. It was a simple, but good life. Days of hard work carried with them the satisfaction of a job well-done and nights followed with peaceful sleep. It was a period when values were important, a man’s word was his bond, and there were no locks on doors. Although it's not a telephone museum, there are some interesting telephone items on display which make it worth investigating. There's plenty there for the non-collectors too! http://www.agrirama.com/
