The Eagle Bluff Restoration Project will focus on three areas:

1. STABILIZATION

The issues of rising damp and other conditions caused by excess humidity levels in the existing buildings must be addressed or the deterioration will rapidly increase and may become irreversible.

Cost: $302,400

2. RESTORATION

Remedying the humidity issues will return the buildings to 100% usability, allowing us to properly repair, restore, refurnish, and interpret these spaces accurately.

Cost: $2,100,953

3. RECONSTRUCTION

Reconstruction of buildings that were lost over time will provide for a Visitor Center and areas for educational programs and exhibits that will be accessible to all. The buildings will support modern necessities, while also conveying their historical function.

Cost: $897,007

TOTAL COST $3,300,000
