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/
