This Saturday, Sept. 14, the Asheville Radio Museum’s new digs will be live on air. The museum, which opened in A-B Tech’s Elm Building in 2001, has relocated to the building’s room 306, providing 200% more space for you to explore the 200+ radios from the early to mid-1900s.

The new 1,000-sqft space includes more exhibits, a ham radio station, and a repair workbench. Plus, the reopening coincides with the annual Vintage Radio Market, in the A-B Tech parking lot near the conference center garage. Meet local and regional vendors selling vintage radios, parts, accessories, and books.

The grand reopening will begin at 10:30 a.m. this Saturday, and the Vintage Radio Market will run from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Admission to both events is free — find specific directions and parking info.

Pro tip: If you’re planning on visiting the radio museum’s new space, why not make it a day full of history? The Asheville Museum of History is just a short walk away, housed inside the Smith-McDowell house, the oldest brick structure in Buncombe County. Through permanent and rotating exhibits, the museum offers an expansive view of our region’s history and all of the communities that have contributed to it.
