General Stabilization in Bodie

A major priority for the Foundation is raising funds for the on-going buildings and structures stabilization programs, and conservation of artifacts.

Over 200 original structures, ranging in size from the large 20 stamp mill, to the single seat outhouse, and thousands of artifacts from freight wagons to square nails remain in Bodie today. In spite of work accomplished to date, many of the structures are in dire straits. Preserving sites, buildings and artifacts, and the history behind them, is the heart and soul of our work.

After the 2023 winter in Bodie, many of our structures will be damaged significantly. We don't know the extent of the damage as of April 1 because of the amount of snow still in Bodie. 

Please consider donating to the Bodie Foundation's General Stabilization Fund to help with the very necessary repairs that we will see this year.
