Founded in 1977, the Museum was initially formed to preserve the Easton & Amos Drainage Machine, but as the museum grew other engines, mostly made locally, were added to the collection transforming it into a museum of land drainage and steam power.

This is the only surviving pumping station still working in steam, with all the buildings still standing. The Museum is now a Grade 2* listed site, owned by the Westonzoyland Engine Trust and run by a group of volunteers who saved it from dereliction, achieving charitable status in 1980.

The Museum has added an exhibition hall and a metal framed engine shed to the original 1831 engine house and with many more engines in storage becoming targets for restoration, plans are underway to increase our exhibition space further.
