The Maine Preservation Executive Board recently voted to include the Bath Freight Shed as a positive example on Maine’s Most Endangered Historic Resources list of 2012.  While they recognized the building was far from being endangered citing the Bath Freight Shed Alliance’s careful work, they included it to showcase the property as an excellent model for adaptive reuse of a historic railway freight shed.  Their hope that its inclusion on this annual list will garner the support and attention the property deserves to further its preservation.

Preparing the Freight Shed for the Market

Many hands, minds + hearts are needed to help us meet the goal of having the winter farmers market at the Freight Shed starting this November!

We will have three Thursday morning meetings to:

- Get increase community participation

- Plan informal events such as potlucks in conjunction with work ... think barn raising
