Hi Hue,

The Asheville Radio Museum is housed on campus of the community college in Asheville, A-B Tech
A-B Tech teaches electronics among other things so it fits their mission - education
The Museum runs on donations and the sell of un-needed donated radio gear and volunteers
Local school kids, senior groups etc etc and individuals schedule visits - https://www.avlradiomuseum.org/

It took them 10 years to get a larger room on campus

They have a good relationship with the President of the school and department heads

Asheville is a tourist town, please visit it you find yourself visiting the nearby Biltmore House etc etc

best,
brian
