MASSENA -- The New York Power Authority’s Hawkins Point Visitors Center and boat launch is now open.
The admission-free visitors’ center is open daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The center offers many hands-on exhibits on energy, electricity, history and the environment. Visitors can hop on a bicycle generator and turn pedal power into electricity or have a hair-raising experience with static electricity using the Van de Graaff generator. An audiovisual terrain map charts the course of the mighty St. Lawrence River from Ogdensburg to Massena. A community room is also available for public use.
The visitors center will again host its “Beat the Heat” summer campaign with a full day of free movies every Tuesday from July 7 through August 25. Family-friendly films will be shown at 10 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 p.m. in the auditorium.
In addition, throughout the year, NYPA offers Friday matinees at 1:30 p.m. featuring contemporary and classic films. These events are free.
