Sharon Springs Pool Bath House

About

The Sharon Springs Pool Bath House, located in Sharon Springs, NY, is a historic structure that was central to the village's past as a prominent spa destination in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It provided facilities for visitors to 'take the waters' from the area's renowned natural mineral springs (including sulfur, chalybeate, magnesia, and white sulfur), which were believed to have therapeutic properties. While many of the historic spa facilities, including the bathhouse, fell into disrepair over time, there have been significant ongoing efforts to restore and revitalize these iconic structures to rekindle Sharon Springs' spa heritage.

Specific and consistent pool temperatures for the historic mineral baths or 'pools' at the Sharon Springs Pool Bath House are not readily available. These historic facilities utilized natural mineral spring waters, whose temperatures are typically cool and variable based on natural flow, rather than being heated or strictly regulated like modern recreational swimming pools.
