Grab the mic and take a trip back to the 1970s, when CB radios ruled the road and “10-4, good buddy!” echoed across America. Breaker, Breaker 1-9, America Turns 2-5-0: Got Your Ears On? explores the CB radio craze that connected truckers, families, and communities during a decade of big hair, disco, and open highways.
Discover how Kent fit into the story of the 1970s through local photographs, artifacts, and memories that bring the era to life. Tune in to the language, culture, and technology that helped people stay connected long before cell phones and social media.
As America celebrates its 250th anniversary in 2026, this exhibit highlights a unique chapter in our nation's story, when a crackling radio signal could bring strangers together and turn the open road into a community.
So come on down to the Kent Historical Museum and see if you've got your ears on! We're waiting for you! 10-4!
