SHREVEPORT WATER WORKS MUSEUM
Shreveport

The Shreveport Water Works Museum at the McNeill Street Pumping Station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a National Historic Landmark, a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark and an American Water Landmark.

The pumping station, built in 1887, was the nation’s last operating steam-powered water works when steam engines were retired in 1980. In addition, three of the steam engines at the museum are considered to be some of the oldest examples of their type. The water works was also one of the first places in the nation to practice filtration and chlorination.
