Recently, not only has exciting new information about one of New England’s vampires come to light, but an additional case has been found, adding to the mysterious history, lore, and culture of New England!

Join Russ Cohen, author of the book Wild Plants I Have Known…and Eaten, to learn about at least two dozen of the tastiest wild plant species the Cape has to offer. These include species everyone knows well, like Daisies and Dandelions, to species people may have never even heard of, like Wild Raisin and Carrion Flower. Keys to the identification of each species will be provided, along with info on edible portion(s), season(s) of availability and preparation methods, as well as guidelines for safe, ethical and environmentally-responsible foraging. Russ’s talk will include handouts and samples to nibble on. Reservations are available by clicking HERE . Admission: $10; Members are Free.

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 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. See our Programs & Events Calendar for upcoming events.

Museum Directory Eastham Historical Society Website: https://www.easthamhistoricalsociety.org/ Address: 25 Schoolhouse Road, Eastham, Massachusetts 02642 Phone: (508) 255-0788 Email: easthamhistorical@verizon.net The Eastham Historical Society maintains museums at the 1741 Swift-Daley complex located at 2375 State Highway in Eastham and at the 1869 Schoolhouse Museum, located at 25 Schoolhouse Road. In addition, they operate the Ranlett Tool Museum, Dill Beach Camp and The Olde Gift Shop. In 1859, the Swift-Daley house was occupied by Nathaniel Swift, who with his brother Gustavus of North Eastham, soon moved to Chicago and founded the Swift meat packing empire. The 1869 Schoolhouse Museum is located at 25 Schoolhouse Road at the intersection with Nauset Road across from the National Seashore Visitor Center. It is housed in a one-room schoolhouse built in 1869. The original and remaining one of the three schoolhouses consolidated on that site in 1906, it served the town until 1936 when the last pupils moved to a newer building. The old building stood abandoned until 1963 when the newly-formed Eastham Historical Society looked about for a place to house the town’s historical treasures. The school building, then well on its way to decrepitude, was purchased, restored, and became a museum. In 2008 a new museum addition was opened. The museum displays objects from the various facets of the town’s history including farming, shipwrecks, the Life Saving Service, Native American artifacts, the school and daily life in town. The schoolroom, now a children’s “hands on” museum complete with its original schoolmaster’s desk, is furnished to replicate how it looked in earlier days. Children of all ages are encouraged to sit at the desks, look at the books and “play school.” 1869 School House & Museum ( 25 Schoolhouse Rd ) Mon. Closed Tue. Closed Wed. Closed Thu. Closed Fri.
