About the Vintage Radio and Communications Museum of Connecticut!
Since 1991, our museum has been dedicated to educating the public about the history of electronic comunications, with a particular focus on Connecticut's contributions to that evolution.
Thousands of hours have been put in by our dedicated volunteers and if you'd have asked us when we started if the museum would have grown into what it is today, we never would have imagined.
Museum displays cover the periods from the mid 1850s up until the dawn of the computer age in the 1970s. Items on display include:
| Telegraph |
Radios -Crystal, battery, AC, transistor |
| Telephone |
Televisions |
| Typewriters |
Industrial Equipment |
| Movie Equipment |
Telephone Central Office Equipment |
| Television Studio Equipment |
Microphones |
| Recording Studio Equipment |
Vacuum Tubes |
| Equipment Repair |

The museum also houses an extensive research library with factory manuals, schematics, QST magazines and other historical data. Additionally we have vacuum tubes for sale.
We invite you to visit our museum to experience all we have to offer. You can also take an online virtual tour to see a sample of what we have on display.
