Remember the days when your television had its own box and entertainment centers weren’t always necessary?

Here in the Buckeye State, there’s a one-of-a-kind museum that showcases an impressive collection of televisions from decades past. The Early Television Museum in Hilliard is a hidden gem that makes an interesting day trip destination. A walk through this museum is like taking a walk back in time—even before World War II.

Hiding in an unsuspecting building in Hilliard, there's a retro television museum that will take you way back.
