MARION — 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 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, May 19 at the Marconi Building, 13 Atlantis Drive.

Joyce Kohout will also speak on her father's experience working at the Marconi Station. 

Refreshments will be served beginning at 6:30 p.m.  and although admission is free, donations to cover costs and to contribute to the Sippican Historical Society will be accepted.
