Community Builds Together: A 100-Year Celebration in Glens Falls
In 1926, the Zonta Club of Glens Falls organized the construction of a public bathing house, bringing together nearly a hundred local organizations, community leaders, students, and contractors. While the original building is gone, it began a legacy of community gatherings during the summer months along the Hudson River beach.
As we lead up to June 28th, I created a website that will be updated with historical information from Crandall Library’s Folklife Center, Zonta Club of Glens Falls, City Historian Wayne Wright, the Chapman Museum, and many other people and organizations.
The event will take place on Sunday, June 28, 2026, between 1-5pm, organized by residents and local organizations with a community potluck and history celebration. Stay tuned!
