You know the Philadelphia Museum of Art… but do you know the Fairmount Water Works just below it? 💧🏛️
Once the nation’s first municipal water supply (built in 1812), this neoclassical landmark pumped fresh water to a growing city and became one of Philly’s top 19th-century attractions. Today, it’s a National Historic Landmark where you can explore exhibitions, enjoy riverside views, or stroll the Schuylkill River Trail right past its iconic colonnades.
📍 Stop by after your art museum visit for history, architecture, and unbeatable skyline sunsets.
