Take a trip back in time and technology with a visit to the Vintage radio and Communications Museum of Connecticut. Learn how communications technology has changed our lives. Hands-on fun for the entire family! Browse our displays by yourself or take a tour with a knowledgeable tour guide. 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.
