The National Capital Radio & Television Museum was established in 1993 by the Mid-Atlantic Antique Radio Club, a hobby group of antique radio enthusiasts. The museum was created to share with the public their love for vintage radios. There are seven galleries in the museum spanning the times and changes of radio and television starting with the wireless telegraphy, then moving through the beginnings of broadcasting, the growing popularity of radio, and the birth of television. In 1999, the museum moved into a renovated old farmhouse where visitors can see the collection of old radios and televisions and read about the history of these life-changing media.
