Site Clean-up at White Sulphur Springs Ranch

Apr 28, 2017

We do this for our Children and our Grandchildren

Seventeen Mohawk Valley Stewardship Council (MVSC) volunteers, aged 67 to 82, worked like teenagers as they removed all of the debris from the breakdown of the old bath house and snack shack at the historic White Sulphur Springs Ranch site. It was the sunny but cool morning of April 28 when this hardy crew carried and stacked old boards of all shapes and sizes into a huge dumpster. The total load came close to 15,000 pounds and the group did it in about 2 ½ hours. It is estimated that the two old buildings were erected in 1928, which is the year the old pool was built. It was hoped that the lumber from the two buildings could be used in the restoration process but time and insects had taken their toll and little of the lumber was usable. Some of the boards had been recycled from earlier construction in the 1890s.

This was another phase in the restoration of White Sulphur Springs Ranch (WSSR). Last December the leach field, that will service all facilities at the site, was completed.


The next step will be the removal of the cyclone fence that surrounds the old pool. For more information about the history of the area and the goals of the MVSC, visit our website.


White Sulphur Springs Ranch will be the site of our annual fundraiser, Summerfest 2017, on June 25. This year the entertainment is the popular Comstock Cowboys. Tickets are available on our website and at EcoCentric in Graeagle.
