County hosts 'History with Hanlon and Arnone' visits to Longstreet Farm and InfoAge museums

Monmouth County Clerk Christine Hanlon and Commissioner Director Tom Arnone co‑hosted "History with Hanlon and Arnone," a recorded county program that visited Longstreet Farm in Holmdel and the InfoAge museum complex in Wall Township.

At Longstreet Farm, a staff member identified as Deb described the site as a living‑history farm that recreates domestic life in the 1890s. Deb listed the current livestock and said the site offers daily milking demonstrations "twice a day, every day" and a historic kitchen garden with produce such as tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, watermelon, squash and beets. The farmhouse operates as a house museum interpreting the Longstreet family’s 19th‑century life, the hosts said.

At InfoAge, presenters toured multiple museums housed in a former World War II radar base and described exhibits including a working model of Marconi's wireless spark transmitter, first‑generation television sets, and a 60‑foot satellite dish credited with early hurricane detection work. Presenters emphasized that volunteers run the sites and that InfoAge assembles several museums so visitors can see multiple collections with single parking.

The segments were descriptive and promotional in tone; no formal county decisions were made.
