Bathhouse at Walden Pond

"Walden Pond at Sunset" by Steven BentleyIn 2001, The Thoreau Society was designated the official Friends group, supporting the visitor services, conservation projects and park operations at Walden Pond State Reservation, site of Henry David Thoreau's experiment in living deliberately (1845-1847) and inspiration for his classic work, Walden (1854).

The Friends of Walden Pond is a key outreach activity of The Thoreau Society. The Society works with the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, which manages the Reservation, to develop and sponsor interpretive programs that connect Walden, the book, to Walden, the place. The Society funds work to protect the spot that continues to inspire people in this new century as it did when it became Thoreau's laboratory, sanctuary and study in the woods.
