Property Description:
Camp Evans, Wall Township, New Jersey. InfoAge volunteers have been working long and hard to preserve Camp Evans so InfoAge can give the historic district a future in education that will ensure its long term preservation. This is done to inspire students to learn science and engineering and to honor those wireless communication pioneers, WWI Naval radio experts, WWII radar developers, home front workers and cold war information warriors who are associated with Camp Evans.The original facility was constructed by the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company of America as the New York to London link in the ‘World Encircling Wireless Girdle’. The second group of structures significant to communications history at Camp Evans were built by the U.S. Army to serve its mission during World War II as a radar production center, and its later transition to a research and development facility. Most of the buildings were built in 1942. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places. See full nomination. |
