About
A free, under-the-radar museum inside a 1880s pumping station where you can walk through the Great Engines Hall and see the three-story coal-fired steam engines up close. Free guided tours run Thu-Sun at 11:30am and 1:30pm; (check current times) the Special Access Tour ($20, ages 12+) lets you climb the engines and go down to the sub-basement. So cool!
