The Public Works Experience — Attraction in Baltimore

Such a worthwhile experience which I would recommend for all ages. Learned so much about everyday services I simply take for granted. If you're a lover of Baltimore history, how stuff works or behind-the-scenes anything, add this to your must see list. The staff is beyond friendly, the exhibit is impeccable and so informative, and for a mere $5 your experience includes a visit to the pump room which is a step back in time, as well as present day display of mechanical and engineering genius.

I didnt realize it's open I would like to take my wife to visit I think the outside structure is pretty amazing insurance great detail on how the underground...
