From its origins as part of Guglielmo Marconi’s global wireless network to its pivotal role in the development of radar, satellite technology, and space communications, Camp Evans was at the forefront of innovations that transformed both military operations and everyday life. Today, through the InfoAge Science and History Museums, the site continues to interpret and preserve this legacy, ensuring that the groundbreaking work once carried out here remains accessible, relevant, and inspiring for future generations.” said by Melissa Ziobro, Trustee of Preservation New Jersey.The 10 Most Endangered Historic Places Program annually identifies threatened historic, architectural, cultural, and archaeological sites across New Jersey.
