Just to give some perspective, Whittier, Alaska, is known as, "The Town Under One Roof." As of the last census, the population of the town was 220.
They have a museum. The one exhibit which I recall was the old patch cord telephone switch that used to service the building. I get the feeling that on some cold winter day when there was nothing else to do, someone ran across the room where a bunch of stuff had been stored and said, "Hey let's clean the place up and stick a Museum sign outside the door." I would not be surprised if the apartment sized museum actually was the old telephone switch room.
