Museum of Radio and Technology

The Museum of Radio and Technology occupies a former school building and displays collections of vintage radios, computers, and communication devices across multiple rooms. The exhibits guide visitors through different periods of how people sent messages and received broadcasts over the years.

The museum was established in 1991 and preserves the history of electronic communication through exhibits of mechanical music devices and early wireless transmission systems. These collections trace how people moved from basic radio signals to more advanced technologies.

The West Virginia Broadcasting Hall of Fame inside honors people who shaped regional radio stations and local programming. You see the names and photographs of broadcasters who became known voices in their communities.

The venue offers educational programs throughout the year, including LED Christmas tree workshops and Mars rover building sessions for all ages. It helps to allow time to explore the different rooms at your own pace.

Visitors can operate a preserved broadcast studio and experience what it was like to be a radio DJ using vintage equipment from several decades ago. The studio displays the actual tools that broadcasters used to produce shows and play music on air.
