Mooers–Hemmingford Border Crossing, Border crossing station between New York and Quebec, United States and Canada.
The Mooers-Hemmingford Border Crossing connects upstate New York with the Quebec region of Canada at an active international boundary. The facility includes a main inspection building with supporting wings and a covered inspection area for processing vehicles in both directions.
This crossing was constructed in 1935, near the end of Prohibition, to monitor cross-border movement between the two nations. The structure gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
The station's architecture reflects Louis A. Simon's federal design principles with a steep-pitched roof, dormers, and varied window styles characteristic of 1930s government buildings.
The United States side operates continuously around the clock. Both sides can experience wait times, particularly during peak travel periods on either side of the border.
The location sits within farmland and includes formal plantings of evergreen trees plus a historic inspector's residence standing empty on raised foundations. This rural setting makes the facility an unusual setting for an international inspection station.
