Joe Palaia Park, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deal_Test_Site , located in Monmouth County, NJ. A US Army Signals Corp research facility is claimed to be the first US government installation to detect and record signals from Sputnik-1 in 1957. Some infrastructure of the center still remain at the site.
The land, originally purchased in 1919 by AT&T or Bell Laboratories (who also developed the Nike line-of-sight anti-aircraft missile system), was used for research, engineering experiments, testing radio waves and more.
In 1953, the test site was sold by AT&T, and the new owners leased the property to the U.S. Army Signal Corps for tracking Russian satellites.
I believe it was some time in the 1970s that the site became inactive, and left pretty much as it is today. Boarded up and abandoned....
