PUMPHOUSE MUSEUM REVIEWS
The history was amazing. I highly recommend visiting. Friendly staff. Hopefully next time I come back, the trains are working.
Excellent museum on the waterfront. We learned a lot about the Kingston waterfront. Staff was very knowledgeable and well spoken. The Brewers, bakers, and boilermakers tour was excellent.
Not a big museum, but neat to see with the giant steam pumps and my model railroads, including the one from the opening scenes of The Friendly Giant! Staff were very helpful and even available to give a tour.
