Located in the heart of downtown Kingston, the PumpHouse is the perfect place to visit if you are looking for entertainment and enrichment. Our historic building is Kingston’s first waterworks, providing fresh pumped water to the community – the original pumps can still be seen. We have many events, programs and exhibits to capture your imagination.
The Museum offers learning events throughout the season for museum-goers of all ages: drop-in programming for families, tours and special events for school and camp groups, lectures and programs for adults, and a number of free days, when the museum is accessible to all.
The PumpHouse’s 2019 exhibition, “Ontario Street: Brewers, Bakers and Boilermakers – 1830-1970” focuses on a period when the workers, entrepreneurs and residents of Ontario Street on the Lake Ontario waterfront represented the changing face of Kingston.
