Metropolitan Waterworks Museum

Interesting for architecture, engineering, and history of water sources! Also interesting to learn about and compare the past to the present method of getting fresh drinking water to Boston. One gets to see (up close) three antique very large steam engines used for pumping water. And each one was configured differently. Ask questions of the docents who are willing to talk to you and watch the short videos available. Only takes 1 to 2 hours.
