Description

The Bethany Relay Station was constructed by the Crosley Broadcasting Company during World War II for the Office of War Information. When operational (1944 - 1994) it housed six superpower shortwave broadcast transmitters designed to counteract the propaganda effort from Hitler's superior radio network. The square mile of land held 24 highly directional antennas pointed toward Europe, Africa and Latin America. The facility is undergoing major restoration and modifications required to establish a first class museum and educational institution.

The Museum is a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization that relies on donations and grants. If you would like more information on ways to support us or to become involved as a volunteer, please visit voamuseum.org.
