Clinton, Mississippi

Give Me That Old-Time Technology:  Remember analog phones? For a while, you were lucky if you had just one desk phone in your house, and you were even luckier if you had a private line! Most house phones shared a line with all the neighbors. If you picked up the receiver at just the right moment, you could covertly listen in on others' conversations. See how cemeteries can function as museums of technology? Clinton Cemetery. [2018]
