One hundred years ago, Marion’s Marconi Wireless Telegraph station was built to handle all transatlantic radio traffic, communicating directly with another high-powered wireless plant in Norway. Marion Antiques owner, Frank McNamee, will give a talk on this important connector to Europe at the turn of the last century. Refreshments will be served beginning at 6:30, and although admission is FREE, donations to cover costs and to contribute to the Sippican Historical Society will be gratefully appreciated.
