The Whippany River Falls in Morristown, NJ, with the use of a millrace and water wheel, powered the 19th Century Speedwell Iron Works, established by Stephen Vail.
The most significant building at the restored Historic Speedwell Village is the Factory, a National Historic Landmark where Stephen Vail's son, Alfred, worked with Samuel F.B. Morse to perfect the telegraph. It was here on January 11, 1838 where the electromagnetic telegraph was first publicly demonstrated - making Historic Speedwell the "Birthplace of the Telegraph." The Factory Building includes a new, hands-on exhibit about the history of the telegraph at Speedwell.
