Preschoolers at the Waterworks
How does Water get to my Home?
July 11, 2019
10:15am–11:00am
Calling all toddlers, tots, and preschoolers ages 3-6! Grab your favorite adult and join us Thursday mornings this summer from 10:15am – 11:00am as we explore water and the waterworks in fun, new ways!
Each session will include Storytime, an activity, and a take-home craft! Participation is Free (Suggested Donation: $3 per child)
At this session on July 11, we will be reading “A Raindrop’s Journey” by Suzanne Slade. We will take on the role of a raindrop, learning about the water cycle and journeying through a waterworks jungle gym. Then, we’ll make our own waterworks maps.
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.
