About Friends of Pump House

Founded in 2017, Friends of Pump House is a volunteer-led non-profit organization dedicated to preserving, protecting, and restoring the historic New Pump House in Richmond, Virginia. Our members devote their time and energy to this cause in a variety of ways, including participation in monthly workdays, hosting tours and educational events, advocacy, historic research, and fundraising.​

​We are grateful for the support of Friends of the James River Park, who serve as our fiscal sponsor.
