EVENT
Preschool Summer Series: A Raindrop’s Journey
June 24, 2021
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.” Recommended for ages 3-6.
Cost: $5 per participant. All participants may be accompanied by up to two adults at no additional charge. In accordance with the Governor’s latest mask advisory, face coverings for this event are only required for those over two years of age who have not yet been vaccinated.
To see more sessions in this series, check Thursdays at 10 am on our events calendar June through August.
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.
