Visit Us

 

Plan your visit to Louisville Water Tower. There’s over 160 years of history and innovation that goes into every glass of Louisville Pure Tap® and we’re thirsty to share it with you.

Located inside Louisville Water’s original pumping stations, the WaterWorks Museum houses archives of historic photographs, films, and memorabilia, some of which date back to 1860.

Plus, tour a giant steam engine and step inside the Louisville Water Tower, the nation’s oldest standing ornamental water tower.

Arrange a field trip, group tour or visit us on one of our WaterWorks Museum open days.
