About the Business
Welcome to the ITPA National Office & Telephone Museum, a unique destination nestled in the charming city of Hinesville, Georgia. Located at 438 West Oglethorpe Highway, our museum offers a fascinating journey through the history of the telephone industry, set against the picturesque backdrop of Liberty County's majestic oaks and Spanish moss.
Once based in Washington, D.C., the ITPA's National Office and Museum found a new home in 2001 in the historic family residence of Glenn E. and Trudie Bryant. Mr. Bryant, a visionary leader and pioneer in the telephone industry, was instrumental in shaping the communications landscape of the region. His legacy continues to inspire our mission and community involvement.
Our museum boasts an extensive collection of telephones and equipment, showcasing the remarkable evolution from early hand-cranked devices to today's sophisticated smartphones. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply curious about technological advancements, our exhibits offer a captivating experience for visitors of all ages.
The ITPA National Office & Telephone Museum is part of the vibrant Bryant Commons, a 156-acre park donated by the Bryant family. This serene setting includes an outdoor amphitheater, Veterans Memorial Park, Bramble's Playground, Cisco's Dog Park, a 15-acre fishing pond, and scenic walking trails. Future developments aim to enhance community engagement with a new pavilion, picnic areas, and further renovations.
We invite you to explore our museum and the tranquil beauty of Bryant Commons, where history, nature, and community come together. Discover the legacy of the Bryants and their enduring impact on the telephone industry and beyond. Visit us today and become part of this ongoing story of innovation and community spirit.

"This museum provides an excellent telephony history. Informative tours and interesting exhibits."
"This is such a lovely museum! I highly recommend going for a tour! It's like taking a trip back in time and they even have hands on exhibits that children love!"
"Was there for a Women's Heart seminar bringing awareness about Maternal Mortality in Pregnancy. Beautiful building and museum. Ladies when you are not feeling well, please don't dismiss the signs. Even if it's been 6 month after birth. Most mortality in pregnancy occur within a year after birth."
"Love this place! Its located in the beautifully landscaped Bryant commons. Great place to spend the day and enjoy the weather."
"Very small, but interesting !"
