InfoAge Science and History Museums
📍 Wall Township, NY
Sprawling 34-acre campus across six historic Camp Evans Signal Corps buildings, covering radio technology, military history, and local heritage from the 1600s to present. Retired professional volunteers lead hands-on tours of thousands of artifacts.
This charming and eclectic place is incredibly accessable and full of surprises. Really it seems to be a collection of collections, supported by dedicated staff and passionate volunteers. If you go on days of special events you're likely to find some amazing nerds there to give you as much insight as your brain can absorb on many subjects from radio communications to railroading to the history of computing. As that's my passion I was thrilled to visit during the Vintage Computer Festival. The breadth of exhibits and speakers was honestly very impressive. I look forward to my next visit!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for school-age children and teens who are genuinely curious about science, military history, or vintage technology. The volunteer guides transform dense technical history into engaging stories. Younger children may find the scale overwhelming — this rewards focused older kids who can sustain interest across multiple buildings for 3+ hours.

“Wonderful science museum. We only saw a small part of it with the radio telescope at the same location where radar was developed during World War II. We got a wonderful tour from Frank O'Brien, JPL Solar System Ambassador. Lots of interesting exhibits including a model V2 used for radar experiments, a replica of the first communications satellite, and parts from the Apollo guidance computer.”

Overview
InfoAge spans 21 museums and exhibits across six historic Camp Evans buildings on 34 acres, including a radar development site from World War II. Collections range from a rare 3-cylinder steam car to a model V2 rocket used in radar experiments. Volunteer guides — many retired professionals and JPL ambassadors — provide detailed explanations and hands-on demonstrations of working machines. Plan multiple visits; three hours covers only a fraction.
