Welcome to The Lawson Center

L.S. Aero Marine, the boat sales store and marina at 73 Lakeside Drive, Bemus Point, NY sold boats directly from Christopher Columbus Smith before Chris-Craft Corporation even existed. The historic building is now an exciting museum with exhibits and activities for the whole family.

Now that our region has entered Phase 4 of the state re-opening program, we can start welcoming members and the general public into the museum.

Your Board of Trustees is working hard to finish up the detailed plans that we must have in place to open and to ensure the safety of our volunteers, members and guests.

We plan to open on Saturday, July 18th. We will be open on Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Wednesdays from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

We will be requiring masks and will happily provide them to those who forgot their own.

Members who wish to visit on days other than Wednesdays or Saturdays are invited to contact us for a private tour. Please call Pat Baldwin 469-600-7232 or Craig Butler 716-982-7480 to arrange you tour.

Stay safe, be well and come visit us soon.
