Pump House Steam Museum

The one-of-a-kind, completely restored, steam-run pump house was used from 1849 to 1952. Today the warehouse features all things steam-related, including two full-model train sets as well as the recently restored steamboat Phoebe. Also here are two late-19th-century steam-powered pumps, which supplied the city with water from Lake Ontario.
