A
visit to the Museum takes you behind
the scenes
to learn the fascinating story
of how public works services shape
a modern city and its environment---the
systems that give you clean water,
sewage treatment, curb side trash
removal, well-lit tree lined streets
and study bridges and tunnels.
Exhibits highlight historic photographs,
video presentations, virtual truck
driving school and interactive
computer and challenges. The not
to be missed outdoor Streetscape
exhibit recreates a life size model
of public amenities above and below
our streets for kids of all ages
to explore.
In addition to permanent exhibits
the Museum hosts changing exhibits
of public works related artwork
or timely topics of interest.
The Museum collection includes
over 4,000 photographic images
dating from 1905 including glass
plate negative and a growing
collection of 18th and 19th century
public works artifacts.
