Preschool Summer Series – Animals Around the Reservoir
August 18, 2022

Join Waterworks Museum education staff live at the museum as we learn about the different animals that call the Chestnut Hill Reservoir home. First, we will read “Just Ducks.” Next, we will learn about some of the different animals that live around the reservoir. Then, we will go on a nature scavenger hunt. Finally, we will make our own animal masks. 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.
