The Metropolitan Waterworks Museum is a private non-profit educational museum located in the original Chestnut Hill High Service Pumping Station, directly across from the Chestnut Hill Reservoir.
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, social history, public health and safe water access, the Museum connects it historic narratives to present water issues and future challenges.
