This is an example of American Morse Code, a main form of railroad communication before the invention of telephones. Being a telegraph operator was not an easy job; it took a lot of skill and a lot of patience. Do you think you have what it takes? In our program Dots and Dashes, we'll go over the history and impact of Morse Code, and you'll get the chance to try your hand at operating a real telegraph transmitter!

This program is tailored for middle school aged kids and their parents/guardians. If you plan on attending, please contact our office and let us know! (434)-315-0457 or highbridgetrail@dcr.virginia.gov.
