Vintage Telephone Equipment Museum was begun just before 1985 by some farsighted Telephone Pioneers who recognized that with advancing technology, telephone equipment history was being lost. Pacific Northwest Bell Telephone Company, the local company before it became part of U S WEST, provided space in an equipment building and donated much of what is there today. AT&T and Western Electric also have donated historical equipment and documentation. Today the museum's space is still located in the same working Qwest (now) equipment building. Hard working volunteers, most of them now retired, installed and now maintain the equipment in working order.
