2 | NORTH STAR PORT | SUMMER 2024 WELCOMING WAVES by MARIA VOLLOM O On the opposing end of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway System from Duluth, a new Seaway Visitor Center opened May 13 in Massena, New York, culminating years of planning and bipartisan support. The original visitor center was built shortly after the Seaway opened in 1959, thus it was aging and needed a facelift of sorts. Now revitalized for future generations, the federally funded $7 million facility upgrade features 38 exhibits detailing the Seaway's history, including the construction of Eisenhower and Snell Lock in Massena. "The Seaway Visitor Center story of shipping via the Seaway into the Great Lakes is honored, celebrated, and commemo- rated," said Adam Tindall-Schlicht, administrator of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation.
