Morse in Franklin
The Franklin Museum of Telegraphy in Philadelphia will present an exhibition on the life and invention of Samuel Finley Breese Morse, the co-inventor of Morse code. In those days, the transmitting of information using short signals or binary code was impossible. Samuel F. B. Morse’s invention brought about the enhancement of telegraphs, the further development of binary code, and the adoption of electromagnetism into this transmission technology.
Models of the first telegraph and the early days of the electrical telegraph will be displayed at the exhibition. Portraits and paintings of historic scenes by Samuel F. B. Morse will be on display as well. We will be giving free demonstrations of Morse code transmission and providing a full explanation of the development of binary code. We will also be giving out small booklets on Morse code to children to understand Morse code in a fun way.
There will also be some film clips and talks that will give visitors a deeper understanding of Morse’s life. It will be shown to visitors at the end of the tour so that everyone can fully grasp the meaning of the exhibition.
The exhibition will commence from May 1 through July 30 at the Franklin Museum of Telegraphy. Tickets are available at $20 for adults, $10 for children below the age of 12, and a group rate of $100 for 10 or more people. Children below the age of 5 get in for free. Please contact us at Morse@franklin.org for further inquiries.

Subject: Morse exhibit
Dear Franklin Museum,
A group of 12 people, including my family and friends, is looking forward to visiting the Morse exhibition. However, I was wondering if the exhibition is handicapped friendly and provides easy access to wheelchair-bound people like my brother. We also have a friend from China who is visiting us and will come along to the exhibition. He is not very familiar with the English language and American culture. May I ask if there are brochures or explanation materials in languages other than English? Are translations provided during the video clips and talks as well?
Thank You,
Ben Hawkins
