The countdown is on! The Washington County Museum is just days away from celebrating the Grand Opening of the Hugh and Jane Hunt Vintage Radio Gallery on Friday, April 10.
This highly anticipated new exhibit invites visitors to experience the golden age of radio—when families gathered around beautifully designed sets to listen to music, news, and stories that connected the nation.
A Must-See Collection
The gallery features an extraordinary display of vintage radios, including what are considered among the finest collections of Catalin radios, Air King “Skyscraper” radios, and Sparton “Mirror” radios. These rare pieces highlight both the innovation and artistry of early radio design.
