The Hamilton Museum of Steam & Technology is the site of the original 1859 Hamilton Waterworks. The museum features two 45-foot-high, 70-ton steam-powered pumping engines which supplied the city with clean drinking water from 1859 to 1910. The pumping engines were made in Dundas, Ontario and today are the oldest surviving examples of their kind in North America.
Join us on Doors Open Hamilton for a complimentary, self-paced tour of the 1859 Pumphouse and Boilerhouse, and see how the 1857 Woodshed structure as been adapted to be used as a beautiful rental and teaching space for the museum.
