One of Marconi's original radio sites lies in the Point Reyes National Seashore about 35 miles across the Golden Gate Bridge to the north of the 2016 IMS show. This site served both trans-Pacific and ship to shore communications companies. Unlike their East Coast counterparts, these sites are located within National Park lands and were therefore not torn town. The Maritime Radio Historical Society is dedicated to preserving and restoring the radio equipment at the various sites in and around Point Reyes, along with other projects around the bay area. If you contact the organization in advance, you can arrange to visit the radio site (typically on Saturdays). You can easily combine your trip with other scenic destinations within the seashore or visit the iconic Muir Woods.
