PumpHouse

Step inside Kingston's first waterworks — where steam-powered pumps provided running water to Kingston residents from 1851 to 1952. Today, this magnificent building continues to serve as a community museum and hosts many temporary exhibitions — including The Art of Survival: A Prison for Women Memorial Collective Art Exhibition — as well as school programs where students can learn about water stewardship.
