About the Visitor Center
The new Visitor Center at Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge will serve the Eastern Massachusetts National Wildlife Refuge Complex, consisting of eight National Wildlife Refuges - Great Meadows, Assabet River and Oxbow outside of Boston to Monomoy and Mashpee on Cape Cod, Massasoit in Plymouth, and Nantucket and Nomans Land Island in Nantucket Sound.
In addition to the interpretive and interactive exhibits covering all eight refuges, the new center will include a large room for educational programs and community meetings, a Nature Store operated by the Friends and office space for refuge staff. The Fish and Wildlife Service hopes to promote the Visitor Center as a premiere environmental education resource in the area.
