Telephone Pioneer Association and Museum Scholarship

The Lincoln Telephone Pioneer Association and Museum Scholarship was established in 2019 to commemorate the history and legacy of the Frank H. Woods Telephone Pioneer Association and the Frank H. Woods Telephone Pioneer Museum. The scholarship was funded, in part, from the proceeds of the sale of an antique telephone collection originally begun in 1928 by employees of The Lincoln Telephone & Telegraph Company at the request of its founder, Frank H. Woods (1868-1952).
