Nearly 1,000 Visitors at Waterworks Free Fun Friday!
#FreeFunFridays A Hit!
It was nothing short of spectacular for the Waterworks on Friday, July 14! Not only did the rain hold off, but the museum set a one-day attendance record of almost 1,000 visitors!
The museum staff, volunteers, and board members were thrilled with the turnout and can’t thank the Highland Street Foundation enough for sponsoring the Free Fun Fridays program.
Our programs were designed to delight and introduce Greater Boston to the amazing legacy of scientific discovery and engineering innovation that is the Waterworks! With that in mind, everyone from the EPA Region 1 Mobile Water Lab to the Steam Machines of Todd Cahill to the Splashtones and their amazing water organ, the Hydraulophone, made the day a memorable one.
Here are a few snaps of the fun…We look forward to hosting you next year!

Moving Water: From Ancient Innovations to Modern Challenges
Ancient civilizations engineered water systems that sustained communities for thousands of years. This exhibition spotlights six places that innovated ways to deliver, and control water for human use. It also looks at how climate change is impacting all of those places, forcing public officials to consider new ways to keep the water flowing.
