Welcome to the Cocalico Valley Historical Society

July 28, Field Trip

Meet at 7:00 PM at the home of Ronald E. Frisbie Sr., 312 South 10th Street, Akron, PA for a tour of one of the area's best kept secrets, the Antique Radio Museum, begun in 1979. He will narrate the history of radio, and visitors will see radios dating from 1906 to the 1940's, including an exact replica of the Titanic radio room and the most sought after Marconi receiver in the world (manufactured in England in 1907 and one of the only five known to exist). Don't miss this trip!
