Marquette, Michigan – What did the first telephone sound like? Can you believe voices traveled through those antiquated wire systems? Yup, times have changed. But we love looking back at old technology and how inventive
it was.
Saturday at the Center- The Third-Saturday Series at the History Center is an open house format hands-on and activity day featuring a new theme each month.
This month, “It’s All About Sound!” Saturday, March 16th, 2013 At the Marquette Regional History Center 11:00am – 2:00pm Included with museum admission: Adult: $7 Senior: $6 Student: $3, 12 & under: $2
From 11:00-11:30 Jim Koski from WMQT will talk about what sound is,
and about radio and how it’s changed.
The remainder of the activity day will include fun hands on and
ears-on activities for all ages including a “name that sound” game
and “sound hunt” in the exhibit gallery. Try your hand at Morse
code and an array of musical instruments, then make your own
sound-transmission tool. Antique sound producing, transmitting, and
recording devices from our collection (such as a 120 year old
telephone) will be out for you to view and even hear. Come one, come
all!
