Payphones Past

Two in a Row From Barbara Van der Aue

Barbara Van der Aue, who follows the Payphone Project page on Facebook, shared two phone booths seen in her travels. One is seen outside the Crawford County Courthouse on Highway 19 in Steelville, Missouri.

The other booth was seen on a backwoods waterfall trek in Aura, a small town in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. This one contained a beige rotary phone (not a payphone).
