SPI, founded in 1971, is an entirely volunteer organization based in the city of Bath, in Sagadahoc County, in Maine. In addition to multiple programs and events promoting historic preservation, Sagadahoc Preservation, Inc. is dedicated to the preservation of significant architectural gems within our City of Ships, and the surrounding area.

Restoration work to the Winter Street Center (WSC) and church is also an ongoing undertaking! Most recently the steeple of this great building has been rescued and repaired after storm damage in 2020, and the interior of the Event Hall has been repainted. Joe Minott, WSC Steward, keeps a close eye on the condition of the buildings in addition to assisting the Preservation Committee.

Plans for 2025 include:

• Complete Modernization of the kitchen - cost $15k

• Paint north side of Sanctuary - cost $33k, with $5k grant from 1772 Foundation

• Upgrade electrical wiring - cost $3,600, in collaboration with Bath Tech RSU1 & $3,600 from Bath Rotary Grant

• Rebuild front four-tiered windows sanctuary - cost $26k, $2.5k grant from 1772 Foundation

• Rebuild the chimney - cost $28k

  Please become a volunteer, we need people with many types of experience.
