Our Exhibits:
Join us in the 1908 building that was was originally Engine House #16 and was the last fire station built to house the horse-drawn steam engines.
Guests will learn what it was like to be a firefighter during the early hand-pulled cart and horse-drawn steam engine era, and how the fire service has evolved to the present service that their communities have today.
Our Fire Safety Center:
This program is truly one of a kind. We offer age-appropriate classes to all our guests and scheduled tour groups. The age range is Pre-K through senior citizen. Guests learn how to make their homes fire safe, visit our fire safety kitchen, and practice what to do if there is a fire in their home.
This area may be occupied by a scheduled group during a part of your visit, be sure to let us know how much time you have and we will make sure you don’t leave with out valuable life-saving fire safety tips!

Proud Participating Member
We have proudly partnered with Museums for All. Museums for All is a national, branded access program that encourages individuals of all backgrounds to visit museums regularly and build lifelong museum habits. It is open to participation by any type of museum — including art, history, natural history/anthropology, and general museums, children’s museums, science centers, planetariums, nature centers, historic houses/sites, zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, and arboretums.
Through Museums for All, those receiving food assistance (SNAP benefits) can gain free or reduced admission to more than 1,000 museums throughout the United States simply by presenting their SNAP EBT (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Electronic Benefit Transfer) card.
The cost of museum admission can be a barrier for many low-income families. Participating museums provide reduced admission to visitors presenting their EBT card. This reduced rate is available during all normal operating hours to up to four individuals per EBT card. With a year-round open door policy, Museums for All invites low-income visitors to feel welcome at cultural institutions.
