Cool, was just talking about this place with my kid and tried to explain what was up there (with my limited knowledge.) Thanks!

Breakthrough work was done with weather kites at that site, with instruments lifted far aloft and wires running to the ground. They also worked on Wireless with the same kites while Marconi and others were working in Europe. All that's left of the kites is a shed that's locked up.
