Events HISTORY ON TAP: DOLPHIN COMMUNICATION - PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE Dolphins have long captured the human imagination as highly intelligent animals capable of complex communication. But what does science actually tell us about how dolphins communicate? Join Dr. Laela Sayigh - Senior Research Specialist, Biology, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution - as she explores the evolution of our understanding of dolphin communication , from early assumptions to today’s cutting-edge research. Drawing on her work at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, she will highlight the structure and function of dolphins’ distinctive “signature whistles,” as well as other lesser-understood vocalizations. This talk will also dive into the innovative tools scientists use to study dolphins , including acoustic tags, playback experiments, and sound monitoring systems that may help prevent mass stranding events. Looking ahead, Dr. Sayigh will discuss how emerging technologies—like artificial intelligence—are shaping the future of marine mammal research. Part of our History on Tap series—join us for an evening of local history, conversation, and craft brews. Admission: $10 per person / $5 for members Must be 21+ to sample beer; IDs will be checked at the door.

Museum Directory Chatham Marconi-RCA Wireless Museum Website: https://www.chathammarconi.org/ Address: 847 Orleans Rd, North Chatham, Massachusetts 02650 Phone: (508) 945-8889 Email: info@chathammarconi.org During the off-season, docent-led tours are available by appointment for you, your family or group. Please arrange your visit several days in advance by contacting Executive Director Jen Falvy at 508-945-8889 or email info@chathammarconi.org . Preserving Maritime Radio History: In 1914, radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi’s company built a wireless receiving station here paired with a transmitting station in Marion, Massachusetts intended to provide commercial point-to-point radio service between the United States and Norway. Following World War One and with the intervention of the US government, Marconi’s American assets were acquired by the newly formed Radio Corporation of America. By 1921, RCA’s Chatham station was in full operation, but now for maritime ship-to-shore service with call sign WCC. It would soon become the busiest US coast station. The campus, comprising 10 original buildings on 11.3 acres, has been preserved by the Town of Chatham as the Marconi-RCA National Register Historic District. What You Will See: Through informative panels and interactive displays, museum visitors explore radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi’s life and legacy, the role of maritime radio in world events, ship-to-shore communication, and artifacts from Chatham Radio / WCC’s history including the actual shipboard radio from the renowned hospital ship SS Hope. Visitors experience firsthand how a radio operator touching a Morse code key in Chatham could communicate with counterparts aboard ships sailing the seven seas, and learn about the talented and skilled people who conceived, built and operated the station. Chatham Radio/WCC reliably linked high society, royalty, dignitaries, celebrities and humble immigrants to their loved ones and businesses. In the Golden Age of Trans-Atlantic Ocean Liners exhibit, visitors see what it was like to sail aboard any of six memorable 20th century passenger ships such as the SS United States, famous passengers they might have met, and historical events they might have witnessed. Chatham Radio played a crucial role in winning World War II’s Battle of the Atlantic, the longest single battle of the war. From 1942 through victory in 1945 it became the U.S. Navy’s top secret Station C, covertly intercepting encrypted wireless messages from enemy ships all across the Atlantic. Station C forwarded these intercepts to Washington, D.C. for decoding, and alerted the Navy’s extensive radio direction-finding network to locate and track enemy U-boats. In a new exhibit marking the 80th Anniversary, Can You Keep A Really Big Secret? explores this tense period in the nation’s history and the changes it brought to everyday life when Chatham became a wartime “Navy town.” More Things To Do: Antenna Field Trail: When you visit our historic site any time during daylight hours, walk the winding trail through the flora and fauna of Cape Cod, with interpretive signs identifying and describing the station’s various radio antennas and their history. It is free and open to the public during daylight hours. Some of the antennas are scaled replicas of the originals and are actively used today by the museum’s amateur radio operators to communicate around the world. Museum Store: Visit to browse books, logo clothing and other unique items, also available online at our website. Programs: The museum’s exhibits are augmented throughout the year by fascinating speakers, interpretive programs and special events that you may also find of interest.

Museum Directory 1717 Meetinghouse Website: 1717 Meetinghouse Address: 2049 Meeting House Way, West Barnstable, Massachusetts 02668 Phone: 508-362-4445 Email: info@1717meetinghouse.org The 1717 Meetinghouse in West Barnstable is celebrating its 302th birthday this year. It features the 1806 Paul Revere bell that hung in the tower - the present bell is from the Revere family, but fabricated between 1828 and 1835 - a mystery uncovered by these two history sleuths. The meetinghouse underwent many changes over the years with a major design alteration in the mid-19th-century. Elizabeth Crocker Jenkins spearheaded the campaign to bring the building back to its original design 100 years later.The Meetinghouse today is still a house in which the community can meet. It is a place of worship on Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings, but it is also a village center and a town meeting place. The 1717 Meetinghouse Foundation is devoted to restoring and preserving this magnificent building. The Foundation is also dedicated to bringing the community back into the building with lectures, concerts and debates for the public to enjoy. 2049 Meetinghouse Way, West Barnstable, MA, USA

You can volunteer by sending your contact information to info@dennishistoricalsociety.org . or by visiting the Manse on an afternoon it is open. There is usually a docent for each room who has been provided with information relevant to its history and furnishings. Training is simple. The room history is in written form, with observing or shadowing experienced docents all part of the training. There are period costumes available to add to the ambiance. A simple skirt or slack outfit is also suitable. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Both museums are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. They are owned by the Town of Dennis and managed by a Select Board appointed committee. Their furnishings and collections are owned by the Dennis Historical Society. They have ADA entry, and docents in period costume who guide you through the history of each room. The Josiah Dennis Manse, a two-story salt box, end chimney or half house, was built ca. 1700. An addition on the west side, in 1736, turned it into a complete house with a center entrance. In the early 1900s the rear summer kitchen, now a Maritime Room, was added. Major preservation and stabilization in 2010, funded by the Town of Dennis Community Preservation Fund, saved the home. In 1728, the people of the East Precinct of Yarmouth provided this house to their first minister, Rev. Josiah Dennis, who served them until his death in 1763. The East Precinct was incorporated in 1793 as a town called Dennis, named in honor of the man who shepherded their souls, during a time of colonial rule. The Manse offers a view of Dennis history from the colonial period to the end of the age of sail. West Schoolhouse was rebuilt in 1810, on the site of the original ca. 1745 Nobscusset neighborhood schoolhouse. This timber frame school was designed and constructed by Nathan Stone, Jr., son of the second minister of the East Precinct. He was a Boston apprenticed house-wright, who had attended the original one room schoolhouse. Ca. 1850, American education developed a graded school system. Falling into disrepair, the one room schoolhouse was moved across the King’s Highway for use as a barn and then transformed into a Cape Cod style gift shop. In 1973, condo development threatened demolition and it was moved to the grounds of the Josiah Dennis Manse to become a museum of colonial and early American education. A Town of Dennis Community Fund grant provided major structural preservation and stabilization in 2023. 61 Whig Street, Dennis, MA, USA

Cape Cod Museum Trail (“CCMT”) is a 501(c)3, public non-profit organization that is both a physical journey, and digital initiative that provides a history-related prism into Cape Cod Life and Culture. Who We Are Cape Cod Museum Trail ( “CCMT” ) is a 501(c)3 , public non-profit organization that is both a physical journey, and digital initiative that provides a history-related prism into Cape Cod Life and Culture. Our mission is to support and promote the image, wellbeing and financial health of Cape Cod Museums, Cultural Centers and Art Exhibitions by creating opportunities for networking, collaboration and educational programs. In support of these, we seeks to enrich the community by providing opportunities for discovery and learning to residents and visitors. We began in October 2015 and what started modestly as a series of meetings with a few museums has evolved into a consortium of over 75+ Cape-wide institutions whose directors and staff members meet regularly and communicate digitally to develop comprehensive monthly calendars of events, story ideas and more. The vision of the Cape Cod Museum Trail seeks to strengthen and promote the important role that museums play. To educate and visibly market to residents, visitors and tourists alike, that museums are a valuable part of the wider cultural and heritage sector. They are key to both the visitor market and the cultural provision for local communities across Massachusetts providing stimulation, education and fun.
