CAN YOU READ MORSE CODE?

Our 1862 telegraph house on the High Falls tow path at Lock 15 was a busy place - especially during the Civil War and election seasons. Yesterday's Canal Kids https://www.canalmuseum.org/events/canal-kids-081926 learned all about those days and made Morse code bracelets and sun catchers with secret messages!
