About Woburn Municipal Waterworks Museum
The Waterworks Museum interprets the stories of one of the country's first metropolitan water systems through exhibitions on engineering, architecture, social history, public health, and Safe Water Access. Its centerpiece is a collection of three original coal-powered, steam-driven water pumps. These 19th-century technological monuments, including Leavitt, Worthington, and Allis, stand over three stories tall in the Great Engines Hall, where visitors can observe their intricate parts.
