System Source Computer Museum Field Trip

Saturday, November 26, 2022, 3 – 5pm

Bob Roswell is opening the museum specially for Chessiecon attendees. Conveniently located about 3,000 feet from the hotel, six minutes by car, the System Source Computer Museum is an eclectic collection of tech-gear mostly from the second half of the Twentieth Century, but some much older.

Tour size is limited, so you must preregister to go on the tour.
