Dave,

Crawford Hill is an historic site, about 2 miles away from the Holmdel Lab,
over toward the Garden State Arts Center.

And, you might ask, for what did it get its historic marker? - if I 
recall correctly,
it's for Echo (although I think the Wilson/Penzias "sugar scoop" is over 
there, too).
