Bath Restoration Project

Our major project is the renovation of the historic 1936 Deep Eddy bathhouse. Currently, the bathhouse is closed to the public. After 5 years of fund raising and massive effort by countless people, the historic Deep Eddy Bathhhouse re-opened June 2nd. The total cost of the renovation was around $1.5 million, $1 million of which was raised by the Friends of Deep Eddy.
