The National Park Service (NPS) has commenced the rehabilitation project of the Maurice Bathhouse at Hot Springs National Park, a key moment in the preservation of this iconic historic structure. The project’s initiation was celebrated with a groundbreaking ceremony, marking a significant step in the restoration of this important piece of American heritage.
The rehabilitation of the Maurice Bathhouse is made possible through a substantial investment of $31.6 million. This funding comes from the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA) Legacy Restoration Fund, a fund specifically designed to support the maintenance and restoration of national parks and federal recreational lands.
This project represents a major milestone for the NPS and for the Hot Springs National Park. The Maurice Bathhouse is a significant historic structure within the park and its restoration will help to preserve its unique history for future generations. The project underlines the NPS’s commitment to preserving and enhancing the nation’s natural and cultural resources through the use of funds from the GAOA Legacy Restoration Fund.
