Preschool Summer Series – Bringing Water Home
July 28, 2022
10:00 am–10:45 am
Join Waterworks Museum education staff to learn how hard it is for people around the world without a waterworks system to get water. First, we will read “The Water Princess.” Then, we will try out different tools people use to get water to their homes when they don’t have access to a waterworks system. Finally, we will decorate our own water carrying mugs. 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.
