Have you ever wanted to learn more about the 150-year old Chestnut Hill Reservoir and the historic structures around it? On this one hour walking tour, you will have the opportunity to view diverse architectural examples from Boston’s Golden Age, hear how the reservoir site was developed over time, and discover how all the Waterworks complex buildings contributed to the success of one of the country’s first metropolitan water systems.

As this tour will be conducted outdoors, please dress accordingly for the weather. Should your tour get rained out, the museum will reach out with information about rain dates and refunds. Tours meet on the front steps of the museum. You are welcome to visit the museum after your tour.
