Apparently, The Plumbing Museum opened in 1979 and has been educating and entertaining visitors since then. Currently located in Watertown, MA (relocated from Worchester, MA), the museum “offers a unique, trade-specific take on American history.”

We don’t know about you, but we think it sounds really fun (and yes, a bit quirky). Early plumbing technologies and current equipment are on display in the museum, and visitors can even join in with Hands-On Workshops.

You don’t have to be a plumber to enjoy the plumbing museum – plumbers and non-plumbers alike are invited to visit. Learn more at The Plumbing Museum website.
