Membership is Open In The Information Age Learning Center 2201 Marconi Road, Wall NJ 07719 Marconi Lab and Camp Evans Site THE INFORMATION AGE LEARNING CENTER, Located on the former Marconi Lab and Camp Evans Site, is actively restoring the site as a museum and hands-on science center. Originally founded as Marconi’s first permanent US Laboratory, and later a satellite facility of RCA, and still later lab facilities of the US Army Signal Corps, the site is extremely important to the history of communications. Among other famous firsts, the famous Diana Project transmitted a signal to the Moon in January 1946, the official start of the Space Race, the first time anything from the Earth entered outer space. The Diana Site also tracked Sputnik I in 1957, and tracked most space flights from NASA. Improvements in radar, radio, satellite, telephony, and other forms of communications were all developed right here. So many things we take for granted today got their start here with Marconi or the Signal Corps. We are opening memberships to the general public as an invitation to become a PIONEER member. This is a unique opportunity to become involved on a ground-floor basis in a brand new non-profit museum. This class of membership will only be offered until the historic district is transfered for our use. Be the first person on your block to help save a historic site and create a science center. Your dues and donations, as well as hands-on involvement, will bring us that much closer to opening as an historic site and science center, bringing good educational activities and historic preservation to Wall Township and Monmouth County NJ. Despite delays while the US Army cleans up the site, we are actively assembling artifacts and displays important to the history of the site. We also have plans to restore the massive Diana Site Space Sentry 60-foot dish antenna to operation once again. Camp Evans has been nominated to the National
Register
of Historic Places, it is a Save America’s Treasures site, it was
selected as a 2000 Landmark Volunteers Worksite, and are a Mars Red
Rover
Regional Educational Center. As you can see, there is a lot of work to
be done, and you can be part of this historic undertaking.
