Thank you Community Rowing!
We want to thank the great people at Community Rowing, Inc., a nonprofit here in Brighton, Ma, that believes in “Rowing for all!”
The Waterworks Museum held it’s first annual summer staff retreat by attending a corporate rowing event and really learning to pull together as a team. The instructors and staff at CRI were fantastic, and you can tell by the photo that even the newbies had a great morning on the Charles River.
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.
