Wall juveniles who vandalized Camp Evans Historic District come forward, seek contrition

WALL ― The windows of the old officers' quarters in the Camp Evans Historic District were broken by juveniles who have since come forward to accept responsibility for their actions and whose parents have agreed to cover the costs of repairs, according to township police. The acts of criminal mischief took place in the 2200 block of Marconi Road, where 17 windows were broken and unspecified damage was caused to a detached garage, resulting in about $8,500 in damages, police said. The property was first developed in the early 20th century as Guglielmo Marconi's Belmar Wireless Communication Station and played a key role in transatlantic communications during World War I, according to New Jersey Historic Trust. The Army took over the property in World War II and used the site, renamed Camp Evans, in the development of radar technology. During the Cold War, the site continued to lead in the development of radar technology and as a nuclear weapons research facility. In 1946, engineers at Camp Evans bounced a radar signal off the moon for the first time in an operation codenamed 'Project Diana.' The site has been owned by the township since the 1990s. 'The historic officer quarters and surrounding buildings at Camp Evans are irreplaceable assets to the community,' police said in a statement after the vandalism was discovered. 'Their unique construction and historical significance make repairs difficult and costly when they are damaged. Criminal mischief to these structures is not only illegal — it's a loss to the shared history and identity of Wall Township. Protecting these buildings ensures future generations can learn from and appreciate the vital role Camp Evans played in both local and national history.' In a follow-up statement after the juveniles came forward, police thanked the parents of those responsible for their cooperation, support and for the steps they took to ensure their children are held accountable. 'Their actions reflect the values of responsibility and community that we strive to uphold in Wall Township,' police said. 'We appreciate the community's support in safeguarding our town's historic sites. Camp Evans is an important part of Wall Township's history, and we are dedicated to preserving its legacy for future generations.'
