EVENT
Preschoolers at the Waterworks
Saving Water
July 18, 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 18, we will be reading “Why Should I Save Water?” by Jen Green. We will learn about how much water we might waste or save through a game about our daily routines. Then we will decorate planters as a special place to dump our excess water.
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.
