MASSENA – The New York Power Authority’s Frank S. McCullough Hawkins Point Visitors Center and Boat Launch has resumed off-season hours this week.
The Visitors Center will be open Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Off-season hours will be in effect through Memorial Day 2027.
Hawkins Point, the admission-free visitors center for the St. Lawrence-FDR Power Project, offers many hands-on exhibits on electricity, energy, the environment and area history. Visitors can hop aboard a bicycle generator and turn pedal power into electricity or have a hair-raising experience with static electricity using the Van de Graaff generator.
The Visitors Center also features an audio-visual terrain map that charts the course of the mighty St. Lawrence River between Ogdensburg and Massena. A wood-carved map detailing Jacques Cartier’s exploration of the St. Lawrence River is also on display at Hawkins Point. Visitors can also enjoy panoramic views of the project’s power dam. A community room is also available for public use.
Admission is always free; school groups and community organizations are welcome. For more information or a full calendar of events, call (315) 764-6679 or visit www.nypa.gov. For more information about the Visitors Center, or to book a tour, call 315-764-0226, extension 7166302.
