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 Byrd Park Pump House. 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.
Recently the city commissioned a study by the firm 3North to take an in-depth look at the Pump House. The results of that study and some of the possibilities for the future of the Pump House can be found here in the Pump House Plan.
