Bath Crossroads Historic District
Artefact assisted the Borough of Bath in nominating the downtown commercial district, Bath Crossroads, for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. The district was deemed historically significant due to its central role in regional industry, especially cement production, as well as for the many well-preserved examples of Georgian and Federal style architecture that line its streets. Bath Crossroads was added to the National Register in 2024.
