Preschool Summer Series – A Raindrop’s Journey
July 21, 2022
10:00 am–10:45 am
Join the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum’s education staff to learn how water gets from a rain cloud to your home! First, we will read A Raindrop’s Journey. Then, we will move like a raindrop through a water cycle “jungle gym”. Finally, we will make our own water system “maps.” This program is recommended for ages 3-6 and is free of charge, suggested donation $5. Face coverings are recommended but not required. Help us plan by reserving your free tickets in advance.
Upcoming Events
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.
