EVENT
Preschool Summer Series – Saving Water
July 20, 2023
10:00am–10:45am
Join Waterworks Museum Staff live at the museum as we look at different ways to save water. First, we will read “Why Should I Save Water?” Then, we will explore how much water is takes to create different foods we like and to do different household chores. Finally, we will decorate our own reusable bags which can not only help us save water but help prevent water pollution! Recommended for ages 3-6.
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.
