We are in the beginning stages of developing this web page and will add information as it is completed. Buckhorn Mineral Springs accomplished 2 substantial things in 2006, explained below. The director, Bruce Sargent, was also able to attend the National Trust for Historic Preservation's annual conference in Portland thanks to a grant from The Historic Preservation League of Oregon.

A critical step was taken when Buckhorn Mineral Springs received its final determination letter from the IRS, becoming a well established and recognized 501c3 non-profit organization. Due to a matching grant from Oregon's State Historic Preservation Office restoration work was completed in May on the Vapor Bath House area. The Log Footbridge was completed, the bucket drop Well Structure and Log Gazebo were both restored. The Vapor Bath House was also repaired and secured. Visitors can once again walk over the bridge to explore the area and taste the mineral water. Photos, the Tidings newspaper article, and other information will be posted in early 2006.

In 2006 Buckhorn Mineral Springs hopes to begin work on the Physiotherapy Clinic building. Its restoration will be a major project that will first necessitate careful study and planning. BMS recently received a grant from the Oregon Community Foundation, which along with funds from memberships and other donations, will enable us to begin looking for an intern to help start the work. Following is a description of the planned Clinic work and the intern job description.
