Description

Join the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum's education staff to learn what it takes to be an engineer! First, we will read "Rosie Revere, Engineer." Then, we will learn about some simple machines by exploring the museum's Great Engines Hall. Finally, we will create our own simple machines. Recommended for ages 3-6. All participants may be accompanied by up to two adults at no additional charge. In accordance with the Governor's latest mask advisory, face coverings for this event are only required for those over two years of age who have not yet been vaccinated. The Metropolitan Waterworks Museum uses its architecturally magnificent building, mammoth steam pumping engines, and the adjacent historic Chestnut Hill Reservoir to interpret unique stories of one of the country’s earliest metropolitan water systems. Through educational programs and exhibits focused on engineering, architecture, urbanism, public health, and social history, the Museum connects these stories to current issues and future challenges.   The Waterworks is located at 2450 Beacon Street, Boston, MA 02467, opposite the Chestnut Hill Reservoir in the Cleveland Circle neighborhood. We are accessible by MBTA Green Line trains "C" to Cleveland Circle, and "D" to Reservoir. MBTA Bus lines #56 and #81 are also available. Limited parking available onsite. The Museum is ADA accessible.    For more information, please visit our website at www.WaterworksMuseum.org, email us at [email protected], or call (617) 277-0065.
