The Organization just renamed themselves (and I'm having a senior moment), yet the displays are set in logical order.

I absolutely love this museum! The person who led our tour was a font of knowledge. It was great watching a live demonstration of the telegraph. I would go back in a heartbeat especially since I'm a ham radio operator.

Went here in 2023(?) and still think about this place so often I decided to write a review for it. This is an amazing gem of a museum that explains the history of wireless technology from spark gap transmitters to modern cellphones. They have a huge collection of old radios, commercial and military, and a team of very knowledgeable folks who will answer all your questions. I'm a ham but I brought my not so technically inclined mom and grandmother here, and they LOVED it. You don't need to be an engineer or ham to enjoy this ... read more
