THE ST. LAWRENCE POWER & EQUIPMENT MUSEUM PRESERVES AND TEACHES THE HISTORY OF HOW PEOPLE OF THE NORTH COUNTRY OF NEW YORK LIVED AND HOW EARLIER TECHNOLOGIES AND EVENTS HELPED SHAPE THEIR LIVES. HISTORY COMES ALIVE THROUGH DEMONSTRATIONS, INTERPRETIVE DISPLAYS, LIVING HISTORY AND COLLECTIONS AMONG HISTORICAL AND EXHIBIT BUILDINGS. SMALLER HISTORICAL ORGANIZATIONS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE THEIR OWN PROGRAMS AND FACILITIES. THE MUSEUM SUPPORTS THE REGION'S TOURISM. IT IS DIRECTED AND OPERATED ALMOST ENTIRELY BY VOLUNTEERS.
