With the assistance of Digital Equipment Corporation, Gordon and Gwen Bell founded the Digital Computer Museum in a former RCA building in Marlboro, Massachusetts. The Marlboro "tower building" was constructed by RCA in 1970 and later purchased by Digital. It had a grand lobby and open balcony which seemed perfect for exhibit use. The director appointed to lead the museum was Oliver Strimpel, who moved from the Science Museum in London.

On September 23rd, 1979, the Digital Computer Museum opened with a lecture on the EDSAC by Maurice Wilkes. In spring 1982, the Museum received non-profit charitable foundation status from the Internal Revenue Service, and the newly named TCM formally opened to the public on June 10, 1982.
