National Voice of America Museum of Broadcasting — Attraction in West Chester Township

Preserving our radio past for future generations. This is an amazing tribute to the importance of the Bethany relay station aka the voice of America. Led by a completely volunteer staff the museum offers a glimpse into the past and links to the present and future of radio communication. If you are even remotely interested in the history of radio or wartime communications you need to check this place out.

I highly recommend visiting them on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. to check out their open radio shack WC8VOA. Parking is not expansive but I do recommend getting there close to opening time.

The history of wireless technology, antenna improvements, and a selection of the earliest television entertainers, who all got their start at WLW. Weather your interested in history, wireless technology, early entertainers..... or simply curious about a bygone era, this museum is well worth...
