If you’re near Pittsburgh the Large Scale Systems Museum is definitely worth a visit. Working PDP11, VAXes, SGI, IBM midrange and mainframe systems can be booted up and used.

The second floor has smaller micros and Macs; not sure if there’s a working NeXT machine or not.

I had no idea this existed and it’s not too far from me. This is cool as hell.

Same here, and I've lived very close to their location for... well, decades now and had no idea this existed.

Maybe one reason is that you can't just walk in. "If you wish to see the collection, we can arrange an appointment. "

it's super easy- just call. I've done it twice.

In Parkesburg, Chester County, a bit west of Philadelphia. (Mentioning this because we hugged it to death.)

I am also not very far away, and used to find myself driving through Parkesburg sometimes. Had no idea it was there! My first computers were user-friendly TRS-80 Model 1's (school) and my C64, so just missed the 1970's and earlier generations. Will look into a visit in 2026!

Looks fun, but dunno if they can call themselves _the_ computer church, tho. https://www.google.com/search?q=Voorhees+Computing+Center

It is worth the visit!

Looks like we hugged it to death
