About Us
We educate citizens about Philadelphia’s urban watershed – its past, present and future – and collaborate with partners to instill an appreciation for the connections between daily life and the natural environment.
The Fairmount Water Works has been an iconic landmark and popular tourist attraction since it opened in 1815 as a state of the art pumping station.
Now home to the Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Center, it has a new lease on life as a hub for STEAM and environmental education, scientific research, and community events – and remains a popular destination for visitors and locals alike!
