Bob Riddell's Telephone Museum — Wawina, Minn.
Bob Riddell is the owner (and sole employee) of the nation's smallest telephone company, in Wawina, Minn. He also happens to have one of the nation's largest collections of telephones. Working cord switchboards, dial systems, business phones, rotaries, touch-tones — Riddell's got 'em all up and ringing. On your journey to operate a hand-cranked Bakelite telephone, it may be best to take written directions with you. Bob Riddell's Telephone Museum: Between mileposts 207 and 208 on U.S. Highway 2, turn north, cross the tracks and go 2.2 miles (3.5 km) to 13505 County Road 25.
