The Metropolitan Waterworks Museum at 2450 Beacon Street in Boston, opposite the Chestnut Hill Reservoir, is a non-profit museum dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of the historic waterworks and buildings that supplied the City of Boston with public water. The Museum presents unique stories of this early metropolitan water system through exhibitions and educational programs on engineering, architecture, social history, and public health. The Waterworks sits on the site of the original Chestnut Hill Reservoir and pumping station in a building dating to the late 1880’s. The Museum consists of the Great Engines Hall, housing three historic steam-powered pumping engines, and a two story glass-enclosed pavilion, featuring the Overlook Gallery. Directions and hours can be found at www.WaterworksMuseum.org. Connect with us on Facebook and Twitter @MetroWaterworks. Take Green Line “C” and “D” trains, or Bus (#51 and #86). Limited parking available. ADA accessible and stroller friendly.
