Hi Everyone,

The Morse Telegraph Club will be celebrating "Morse Day" at the Wabash Depot in Ferguson, MO on Saturday, 04/25 and we invite you to join us!  This is an event where we demonstrate landline Morse on a sounder.  We have been operating the Morse equipment there virtually every Saturday for 14 years.

Ferguson has been in the news a lot over the past year but I can say, from personal experience, it is very safe to visit the depot. Here are the details:

The Morse Telegraph Club (Alton Chapter) will be celebrating Samuel Morse's Birthday "Morse Day" on Saturday, April 25th, 2015 from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at the Wabash Railroad Depot in Ferguson, MO!
