Not Your Usual Science Museum

By Linda Tancs

At the historical Camp Evans military base in Wall, New Jersey, you’ll find the nation’s only fallout shelter theatre at InfoAge, a museum featuring the best of wartime technology.  There’s a fascinating display of intelligence systems, jamming equipment and rooms devoted to the development of radar.  This vital complex is where top-secret innovation took place to protect the United States against German and Japanese forces.  Not just for techies, the grounds also include a shipwreck museum, a World War II miniatures room with toy soldiers, a collection of helmets, rifles and early jeeps and an airborne motor scooter.  The museum is open on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.
