Our most visible preservation effort is the ongoing care of the Winter Street Center (WSC)—a cherished historic church that serves as both a community gathering space and a testament to Bath’s history. Thanks to the Winter Street Oversight Committee and vigilance of Joe Minott, WSC Steward, this landmark continues to shine.

What’s Next (2026 Goals)

The Winter Street Oversight Committee is preparing plans to:

• Improve accessibility for all visitors

• Restore walkway lamp posts and exterior sconces

• Develop a long-term steeple restoration plan

• Seal the sanctuary crawl space

Each project depends on community support and available funding.
