About a decade ago I was visiting my home state of Rhode Island and found out about the New England Wireless and Steam Museum in East Greenwich. I visited there on the clean-up day after their "Yankee Steam Up" event and helped with that task. I was reward with a personal tour of the Wireless Museum and the PJ Station facility by Bob Merriam (then in his 80s, now SK).

The NEWSM campus is now a protected national treasure. Group tours can be scheduled. But you can take a virtual tour on their web site:

    Main page: https://newsm.org/
    Wireless: https://newsm.org/tag/wireless-tour/

During my tour I took many pictures. A few show views of the W1BB portion of the exhibit. They are here in my dropbox:
