Shreveport Waterworks Pumping Station
Shreveport Waterworks Pumping Station, Steam-powered municipal water treatment plant in Shreveport, Louisiana.
The McNeill Street Pumping Station features original Victorian-era waterworks equipment, including steam engines, pumps, and water filtration systems from the 1890s.
Operating from 1887 to 1980, this facility served as the last functioning steam-powered municipal water treatment plant in the United States.
The museum displays demonstrate the evolution of water treatment technology through preserved machinery, equipment, and educational exhibits about public health developments.
Located at 142 North Common Street, the museum opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM and Sundays from noon to 4 PM.
Visitors can activate the preserved steam whistle that once alerted Shreveport residents about fires and emergencies throughout the city.
