Mr. Ron Miller passed away in 2020, but his wife Donna is keeping the museum open. Had a great visit and learned a lot -- the cabinet of radios connected to corporate advertising was something to see!

Ron has been restoring antique radios for decades, and they're on display at a small museum next to his home. He also has 1950s service station memorabilia outside the museum. Donna was our tour guide, and we met Ron in his garage workshop.

Ron is very knowledgeable and passionate about his radios! Very friendly and happy to talk to visitors! Stop by and say hi. Visitors welcomed! Some radios are also for sale.

Huge collection of working 1950s radios, televisions, and gas pumps -- and an entertaining proprietor. All of the equipment (hundreds of items) has been restored and functions!
