Opening Reception— Vintage Powerhouse— Cabot Station: A One Hundred Year Retrospective

April 1, 2016

Opening Reception— Vintage Powerhouse—

Cabot Station: A One Hundred Year Retrospective

Join us in the Great Hall for refreshments and a look back in time at the Opening Reception for “Vintage Powerhouse—Cabot Station: A Hundred Year Retrospective.”  This exhibit features historical photographs dating from the
early 1900s that tell the story of the construction of the new concrete dam at Turners Falls, new power station and power canal expansion. At the time of its construction and for many years after, Cabot Station was the largest hydro-
electric facility east of Niagara Falls. Free. All ages welcome.
