Preschool Summer Series: Working Against Water Pollution
July 7, 2022
10:00 am–10:45 am
Join Waterworks Museum Education Staff live at the museum to learn about ways keep surface water clean and help the earth! First, we will read, “Not for me please, I choose to Act Green.” Then we will practice “acting green” by cleaning up a pretend pond. Finally, we will make happy fish to swim in our newly cleaned ponds. 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.
