hands on history

The Vintage Radio & Communications Museum

Welcome to the Vintage Radio and Communications Museum

We are an all-volunteer run museum located in Windsor, Connecticut, offering a fascinating and educational look back in time (and technology). Take a walk through history from Morse Code transmitters to radio & television to personal computers, and everything in between.

  • Many of our displays are hands-on! Tap out your name in Morse Code; Tune a 1925 radio; Crank a wind-up phonograph; Listen to a home-made crystal set; Pick a song from a working juke box.

  • Browse our displays and exhibits at your own pace, or take a tour with one of our knowledgeable tour guides. We have extensive collections and an impressive variety of vintage communication technology.

  • The museum offers several classes for all ages, and has many resources to help answer your electronic communications questions.
