With informative exhibits and displays and a welcoming atmosphere, the Champlain Canal Region Gateway Visitor Center is the perfect starting point for your next adventure. Come and immerse yourself in the stories and landscape that defines this unique part of New York.

The building is a beautifully crafted timber frame structure, inspired by the architectural stylings of a Dutch Barn, similar to what would have once stood on the property of the nearby Schuyler House. Completed with the expertise of the Timber Framers Guild and with the help of numerous community volunteers, the building seamlessly blends historical charm with modern amenities. Large windows allow natural light to flood the interior, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The result is a stunning facility that serves as a welcoming gateway to the Champlain Canal region.

Two mittened hands are holding a book that says "Carols." On the book is a bird within the circle of a wreath. Around the hands are a candle, a few cinnamon sticks, and other wintery items.

On Monday, December 16th, at 6:30 PM, Hudson Crossing Park and the Historic Hudson Hoosic Rivers Partnership invite you to a special holiday event at the Champlain Canal Region Gateway Visitor Center. The Schuylerville High School Holiday Choir will present a program of traditional and seasonal carols, filling the candlelit Visitor Center with music.

This event will feature performances by the Holiday Choir, joined by some very special guest singers. Attendees are welcome to sing along or simply enjoy the music and the remarkable acoustics of the Visitor Center. Whether you come to lend your voice or to listen, this event promises to be an evening of beautiful music in a unique and serene setting.

All are welcome to attend. This event is free to attend, but we kindly suggest a $5 donation to Battenkill Community Services at the door.
