Behind the Steam: Golden Age of Radio

What will you find when you go “behind the steam” with us at the Marshall Steam Museum? Join us every month for this new program as we take a close look at a special item in our collection and then zoom out for a larger discussion with experts and enthusiasts. Our collection goes beyond Stanley steam cars, so tune in every month to see what interesting items we uncover!


Coming up on February 18th, come take a close look at our early 20th century Westinghouse Radio and its connection to bringing radio into the mainstream. This joint program features Donna Acerra, Professor of Communication at Northampton Community College. She was recently co-curator of “Don’t Touch that Dial: 100 Years of Radio” with the National Museum of Industrial History in Bethlehem, PA. Donna will use our historic radio as a jumping off to point to discuss the beginning of the “Golden Age of Radio”

Stay tuned for more events! This program runs the whole year and new topics will be released every month. This program is currently virtual, so join us online (must register in advance for the link) or watch the recorded program afterwards, available for the cost of admission.
