2:00 PM
The Museum is closing early on Saturday, September 16 to prepare for the fabulous Cuisine Blue Gala!
The Waterworks will re-open at 11am on Sunday, September 17.
Great Engines Hall
The centerpiece of the Waterworks Museum is its collection of steam engines. Three original coal-powered, steam-driven water pumps are preserved at the Museum and are monuments to 19th century technology and innovation. Leavitt, Worthington, and Allis stand in the Great Engines Hall and reach more than 3 stories tall. Walk around each and see the multitude of perfectly engineered parts that pumped million gallons of freshwater a day into the City of Boston.
