- **Event Name**: The People of the PumpHouse
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 23 Feb, 2026 at 10:30 am – Mon, 23 Feb, 2026 at 11:30 am
- **Event Description**: From 1851 to 1952, the City of Kingston Water Works didn’t just pump water—it transformed daily life for Kingston’s residents. Behind the machinery were the engineers, laborers, and families whose lives were shaped by this essential service. In this talk, we’ll uncover the human stories of the PumpHouse: the workers who kept the steam engines running, the communities who relied on clean water, and the challenges they faced during fires, outbreaks of disease, and a rapidly growing city. Today, the PumpHouse Museum preserves these stories, offering a glimpse into how innovation and resilience built the Kingston we know. Join us as we walk through the social history of the PumpHouse and explore how water connected—and protected—the people of Kingston.
