What InfoAge does

InfoAge Science and History Museums is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization operating a consortium of over 20 science and history museums and exhibits on a 34-acre National Historic Landmark campus at the former Camp Evans Signal Corps base in Wall Township, New Jersey. The organization preserves and interprets collections spanning radio technology, vintage computing, electronic warfare, military communications, space exploration, shipwreck archaeology, and model railroading across 6 renovated historic buildings totaling 40,000+ square feet of exhibit space, with an additional 42,000 square feet under volunteer-led restoration. InfoAge is governed by a Board of Trustees and led by a small staff team supported by 100+ volunteers, many of whom are retirees who personally participated in the historic events the museums interpret.

The business model is a diversified nonprofit revenue mix: one-time admission fees ($15 adults, $10 children, $8 military, $12 seniors, free under 5), annual memberships, donations and grants from individuals, corporations, and government bodies (Wall Township, Monmouth County, US HUD, NJ Historical Commission, NJ Historical Trust), and event-based income from special programs such as Space Exploration Week summer camp ($250/child), Camp Invention, hamfests, and the annual Vintage Computer Festival East. The go-to-market is exclusively physical destination-based with no e-commerce or remote delivery, and the operating geography is regional, focused on the Jersey Shore and broader New Jersey.

The customer base is horizontal and diverse, spanning K-12 school groups, families with children, vintage computing and electronics hobbyists, amateur radio enthusiasts, and military history buffs. InfoAge operates through a federation model, hosting eight partner organizations that operate dedicated exhibits on-site (Vintage Computer Federation, NJ Antique Radio Club, Garden State Central Model Railroad, Military Technology Museum of NJ, NJ Historical Divers Association, Veteran Wireless Operators Association, Association of Old Crows, and Computer Deconstruction Laboratory), supplemented by academic partnerships with Monmouth University and Princeton University. The organization is recognized with National Historic Landmark status, National Register of Historic Places listing, Save America's Treasures designation, and Preserve America Steward designation.
