Staff were very helpful and friendly! We even found some hidden gems from my husband’s family’s farm just a few hours down the road from Hendersonville. We loved the black light exhibit that explained how the rocks and minerals react to the light.

Please note that the museum will be closed until further notice following A-B Tech’s updated COVID policy to protect students and outside guests. The museum will announce when this situation changes. Thank you for your understanding. The area's largest teaching museum about what radio is, how it was discovered and developed and how it makes our lives better today. Huge exhibit of home and amateur radio equipment from the early 1900's onward. Fascinating to young and old alike! See early spark transmitters, a Morse Code recorder, a Nazi radio, an antique cylinder phonograph and much more! Stem students welcome!

We stopped by the Asheville Radio Museum this past weekend during a trip to Asheville. A fantastic place to visit for any radio or electronics enthusiast, it is packed floor to ceiling the many old tube radios - some you will not likely see anywhere else. Plus a few newer models also. Great for kids, as the curator Stuart explains the basics of radio waves, resonance, and can demonstrate how lightning affects radio signals, how Morse code works, and much more.

This was such a great time! We bought the ultimate ticket, so got to experience everything -- the weird gravity, the cool science/illusion rooms, the 1903 house, the native american artifacts, the tomahawk throwing (this guy was so patient with four ladies who have no skills), the old-time photo (shout out to awesome photography David!), the dinosaur & rocks museum (shout out to awesome tour guide Logan!), and the gem mining (wish I could remember her name!). All of the staff was wonderful. We had a great and weird time!
