    Great Way to spend a Sunday! Check out the house tour as well. Take a walk afterwards, pack a picnic, or play on one of the playgrounds!

    World’s Largest Transistor - Bell Labs' Transistor Water Tower

    World’s Largest Transistor

    There's this unique water tower on the park-like property of the old Bell Labs, resembling an H.G…read more Wells Martian tripod more than anything. This white, three-legged saucer looms over the entrance drive to the now shuttered research and development facility. The saucer water tower is actually modeled after the design of an early transistor, invented by three Lab researchers in 1947. John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and Willian Shockley later won the Nobel Prize in physics. The transistor breakthrough happened at another Bell Labs facility further north, but this 60- foot tall was erected here in 1961, when they broke ground for a Eero Saarinen-designed building. They were also the architect for St. Louis's Gateway Arch. This was taken from a website called https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/8180. You certainly can't miss it. To think, I was initially passing through. Once again, the things that we can find & review in Central Jersey. Silly Yelp review #44.

    If you have an appreciation for the innovative engineers that once worked here it's worth a visit…read moreto the tower. Nothing to see beyond the water tower. The history of this once great laboratory is gone. Just do a loop and check out the water-tower and if the city did not end up building houses and destroying the Holmdel Horn Antenna that was used to discover Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation in 1965 be sure to check out the national landmark that's about 3 miles away.

    World’s Largest Transistor - If you try to visit the Horn Antenna it's now closed as a developer bought the property.

    3/24/26: To begin, I'd like to thank all the veterans who've served our country…read more -The NJ Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a museum that everyone should visit and learn about history. - My first visit was about two weeks ago on a Tuesday. According to the website they're open on Tuesdays. However, when we arrived, it was closed. So we walked the grounds and observed the outside monuments. (The website only mentioned of an event at 5 PM that day). -On Tuesday March 24th, I telephoned the museum only to receive a recording of scheduled hours and some other info. I did leave my telephone number for the manager to return my call. I didn't want to drive almost 40 miles down to Homdel, just to find out they were closed again on a Tuesday. Never received a call back. -However, I'm not going to let this issue detract from my rating this time. - Anyway, it was a beautiful day and we decided to take a drive down to the museum. (Luckily, they were open). -The museum has several beautiful and poignant monuments honoring the veterans upon entering the building. -During our visit, we sat in a large circle within the larger museum circle with a large high school group. About six Vietnam veterans told us their stories. Each story was so emotional moving. - Most of the museum is a circular building. Best description of the museum is as follows: The lower wall portion has wars and political events. It begins around the time of World War I and finishes at the end of the Vietnam War. -The upper wall half has US Culture photos and written info. that correspond to the lower wall. For example: The TV show "All in the Family" , Gloria Steinem (Women's rights advocate) and President Nixon were displayed above the Vietnam War. -In the back, there's a meditation garden dedicated to the women who served during Vietnam War. All the outside grounds are beautifully maintained. -The museum does have a gift shop. -Allow yourself a minimum of one and a half hours to throughly see the entire museum. -The NJ Vietnam Veterans Memorial Museum is located off the Gardenstate Parkway Exit #116 next to the PNC Arts Ctr. Holmdel, NJ.

    #ThankyouThursday…read more.. It's certainly not big and is located on the Grounds of the PNC Arts Center in Holmdel , New Jersey. The actual museum itself is closed but one can park in their lot these days. Take a stroll on down the path to this Memorial. It's almost like an amphitheater. Full circle of the 1500 plus Jersey residents that perished in the Vietnam War. The 365 actual stones are dates that I believe for every day of our calendar year. Much respect for all those souls that served our country. Definitely worth a look if you're in the area. Would like to come back when the museum is open again.
