About the Bethlehem Waterworks
Bethlehem Waterworks, located on Main Street in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, is a unique tourist attraction offering a special deal on local flavor with $20 for 2 adult multi-site museum passes. Walk through history as you learn about the rich heritage of Bethlehem, discover the stories behind the city's past, and explore the lasting impact it has had on the community.
The 1762 Waterworks, a National Historic Landmark and the first pumped municipal water system in America, is a fascinating piece of history. The building housed a mechanical system that pumped water from a nearby spring at a rate of 1,200,000 gallons a day using the waterpower of the Monocacy Creek. The water was then fed to cisterns in the town's living areas.
The Waterworks was actively used until the 1830s and the spring remained the main water source for the city until the early 20th century. The building has been restored, including the original 18th-century waterwheel and pumping mechanism. Take a custom tour of the Waterworks and other historic sites in Bethlehem to learn more about the city's fascinating history.

Reviews of Bethlehem Waterworks
"Beautiful historic area"
"Good park/walking area"
"Very nice area, perfect for a walk or for a picnic"
"The pumping house is impressive and well ahead of the Fairmount Water Works in Philadelphia."
"It's only open a few times per year, but it's a must-see if you can get in. Tour guides are knowledgeable about the history and somewhat about the engineering. Claim is it was the first pumped municipal water system in the Americas!"
