Bath Restoration Project
Our major project has been the restoration and rehabilitation of the historic 1936 Deep Eddy Bathhouse. After 5 years of fund raising and considerable effort by countless people, the historic Deep Eddy Bathhouse re-opened June 2nd, 2007. Approximately 2,000 people participated in the celebration that day. The total cost of the project was around $1.5 million, $1 million of which was raised by the Friends of Deep Eddy.
Why we love Deep Eddy
