NORWAY — The Norway Museum and Historical Society (NMHS) will host its first summer program on Tuesday, June 11 at 7 p.m. in its meeting room at 471 Main Street. This presentation will cover the history of the telephone system in Norway from its beginning in 1885, as a line strung between two livery stables, to the closing of the Norway telephone office in 1977.

As a bonus, a recorded oral history interview of former operator Janice Guilford discussing her duties will be featured. Ms. Guilford was an operator in the Norway office from the late 1950s until it closed.

NMHS especially invites anyone who was a telephone operator in Norway to attend and share their own memories of the job. As always, the event is free and all are welcome to attend. Light refreshments will be served after the program.
