A great place to learn about the history of radio and television, and see what came before cell phones.
I went with a good friend and ending up spending the whole afternoon there. The exhibits are wonderful. This is a gem of a museum. The people that run it are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Anyone interested in the history of radio and TV will enjoy this. I must caution visitors that this is not quick in and out. Be prepared to spend some time. It is a lot of fun
A charming, small museum (and I love small museums in general) We were there several years ago, and remember an especially good experience because one of the volunteers gave us a tour, and provided a thought-provoking historical context to all the interesting (and sometimes beautifully crafted) objects gathered there. He conveyed that long before the Web, radio seemed like a miracle, bringing voices and music and information out of the air. (He was a farm-boy out on the plains of depression-era Midwest). Large museums, such as the nearby Smithsonian line-up, are impressive. But they exert a pressure to keep moving on, while a small museum like this is logistically an easy afternoon outing, that allows time to ponder and discuss and really look at what's offered. More people should know about this place.
The new Amateur Radio Station K3RTV is now on-the-air and available for viewing and demonstration. 73, JIM-N3ADF Station Manager.
