      DETAILS
      General Info
      Housed within a complex of old paper mill buildings in Turners Falls, Massachusetts, the Great Falls Discovery Center's exhibits show the natural, cultural, and industrial history of the Connecticut River watershed. The Center's four acres of colorful gardens and open lawn nestle into a bend in the Connecticut River to provide a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere and the perfect place for fun and learning. Inside the main building, walk-through dioramas show the plants, animals, and landscapes of this 410-mile-long river from its source near the Canadian border, through forests and farms, past villages, towns, and cities, all the way down to Long Island Sound. A timeline indicates the impacts of human habitation on each environment over time and suggests safeguards to keep the watershed healthy and useful for all-people, plants, and animals-that live here together. The Center's charming Great Hall is a former machine shop, with a high ceiling, brick walls, and large windows. Free admission.Housed within a complex of old paper mill buildings in Turners Falls, Massachusetts, the Great Falls Discovery Center's exhibits show the natural, cultural, and industrial history of the Connecticut River watershed.
