Louisville Water Tower & WaterWorks Museum Open Date

Plan your visit to Louisville Water Tower. There’s 165 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.

Tickets are available at the door with a credit card payment.
