Admission is free, with donations to cover material costs very much appreciated. Drop in for demonstrations and experimentation with a telegraph and Morse code. Communicate with a second station that will be set up in the caboose. Information on Morse code will be provided to create coded messages to send out using a telegraph sounder. Make your own telegraph sounder for a small fee. The Gaithersburg Community Museum is located at 9 South Summit Avenue. Regular museum hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with additional hours by appointment. Museum admission is free.
