Second Saturdays at the Waterworks

Clock-In! Profiling Historic Employees at the Chestnut Hill Pumping Station

February 14, 2026

1pm–2pm

Join us every second Saturday of the month at 1pm to learn more about area and industrial history, engineering, archeology, water access and more from experts in a variety of fields. On February 14, Gianna Romanelli, Interpretation and Education Associate at the Waterworks Museum, will reveal individuals who were employed at Chestnut Hill Pumping Stations discovered through curated archival research. She will discuss her methods of finding these employees, some of their personal stories, and their various roles in Boston’s historic waterworks.

All Second Saturday Speaker Series events are upstairs in the Overlook Gallery. The presentations are free and open to everyone, including walk-in visitors, space permitting. Please help us monitor capacity by reserving your FREE tickets in advance.
