Things to See & Do

Make the most of your visit!

Currently on display at our museum are unique antique fire apparatus:  a 1937 Chevrolet pumper donated by Brady Carruth in honor of his father, Buddy Carruth, and a 19th century hand powered pumper.

Downstairs you will find our watch office. Experience what it was once like for a fireman to receive a fire call!  We have a restored pull box on display, as well as an antique ticker-tape which was used to receive fire calls.  The original box-card file was used to look up the pull-box number and find out which fire stations would be dispatched.

Our museum also includes a regularly rotating display, a piece of steel beam from the World Trade Center, and patches from all over the world.

Upstairs we have a collection of eighteenth to twentieth-century fire service artifacts.  Antique firefighting equipment includes fire-extinguishers, and more.  The Locker Room exhibit is an immersive experience made up of a visual timeline using artifacts, documents and visual aids to interpret the fire service.  You will notice the change in uniforms by decade, from 1890 to 1980.

​

Attached to our historic museum is our children's interactive play room, which features a child-sized fire pole, the cab of a fire truck wit working lights, a mock hose reel, and more!  We often offer children's activities such as story time, guided crafts and games.  Check our calendar for a list of current offerings.
