Bachelors Barge Club is an amateur rowing club located at #6 Boathouse Row in the historic Boathouse Row of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is the oldest continuously operating boathouse in the United States.[4] It went through renovations as part of the "Light Boathouse Row" initiative, in which new LED lights were fitted to each of the boathouses.[5] Bachelors Barge Club is currently home to several programs, including the Conestoga High School Crew Team,[6] and the Drexel University Crew Team,[7] among several others.
