For those in the Washington DC area, I really enjoyed the Cold War Museum. The docent working there (in 2015) was really knowledgeable about the material. I enjoyed hearing about how the local area was home to a listening station. Apparently there are large iron deposits in the ground that make for ideal radio reception. During World War 2, a radio operator noticed that he was receiving transmissions from taxi dispatchers in Berlin! The government ended up building a huge ring antenna that could listen to signals from all over the world. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vint_Hill_Farms_Station https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vint_Hill_Farms_Station https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1993/10/04/cutting-the-wires-at-a-base-famed-for-eavesdropping/7869134d-6ff4-47be-a252-872bbf376305/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1993/10/04/cutt...
