Description:

Mt Kearsarge Indian Museum
A respect for the earth and all living things is central to the Native American way of life and this is reflected throughout Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum. Situated on 12.5-acres, MKIM is just 1 mile up Kearsarge Mountain Road in Warner, NH. Outdoors you will find the Medicine Wood Trail, the Betsy Janeway Arboretum and activity area with spectacular view of the Mink Hills.

Inside the Museum exhibits allow visitors to travel through time and space – displaying artifacts and presenting information on prehistoric to contemporary Native Americans from every corner of the North American continent. MKIM is always adding to and changing exhibits. This, along with workshops, lectures and special events, gives visitors a reason to return often. MKIM – one circle, 1000 stories. Experience it!

NH Telephone Museum
We house over 1000 telecommunications-related artifacts, including telephones from all eras, switchboards, tools, telephone booths, and other related items. We start with a 9-minute introductory video and then take the guests on a journey through the evolution of the telephone. Tour includes stories about the controversy behind the invention, the operators, and the undertaker who played a key role in the evolution of the telecom industry.
