The original building where the telegraph was tested for the first time is still standing, and contains an interactive museum. The Vail house is still there, and tours are offered. A few other buildings were moved from offsite locations, including one that had connections to the Ford family of Morristown. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, and it was interesting to learn the connection of the Vail family to steam engine technology (the steamship Savannah), industry (the iron works) and the telegraph (Alfred Vail was Samuel Morse's partner). read more
