You’ve got to see the Sioux City Public Museum’s newest exhibit, Hello Operator – Telephone Pioneers of Sioux City!
Discover Sioux City’s pivotal role in telecommunications history—from launching one of Iowa’s first telephone exchanges in 1880 to becoming a regional hub for over a century. This exhibit explores the city’s deep ties to the Bell System, the rise of independent innovators like Sioux City Telephone Company and New State Telephone Company, and the evolution of telephone technology. Historic photos, iconic telephone designs, and original equipment bring this story to life.
This exhibit will be on display through November 30.
