Great fire museum! They have a small fire prevention/education area at the front of the building for children. One of the volunteers gave my daughter a tour of all of the old hand pumpers and told her the history of them all. She was enthralled with it all. Recommend for anyone! They offer a discount if you are a firefighter.

Tyler Claycamp

Great small museum. Very friendly people who know a lot about the different equipment. Ours kids loved the different demonstrations.

Zac Clark

This was the best small museum experience of our 6000+ mile trip. When we came in, a retired firefighter latched on and gave us a grand tour, complete with fire safety education for the kids. Being a car guy and having a soft spot for old fire trucks, I was enamored with the quantity and quality of the machines on exhibit. Highly recommend for kids and adults alike!

Vincent Puglise-Kipley

First the staff made it a very informative and down to earth experience. The museum is small but packed with equipment and artifacts of the fire service. It was a fun side trip from Louisville for a fire buff.

Sandra Hennessey

Tim Donan

Very informative and knowledgeable staff. Super friendly. Great place for anyone interested in firefighting and equipment. Take the kids all kids love firefighters. These guys know the stuff.

Heather Pack

The man on Fridays is a must to tour with. He kept my daughter's attention the entire time and made it a fun experience for both of us! We learned a lot!

Nikki Russell (Hoss-Nikki)

What a fantastic little museum just overflowing with history! I learned a lot, enjoyed several interactive displays, and the staff was wonderful. Will 100% go back next time I'm in the area!

Alisha

Great place to go to learn about the history of fire trucks and more! Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable and will explain any questions you have. They have one firetruck the kids can get one and ring bell and siren.

Dean Goodenough

Great museum, lots of history and great staff, it’s worth the $6 entry fee

Helonna Heller

This museum is an awesome display of our history and the volunteers are fantastic and so friendly! We would love to come back and see your new home when the move is done!

Willie Nye

We donated a fire hydrant wrench from I think the fifties they acted like they were glad to get it said they didn't have one like it.it was from California. Really nice guy at the front desk he was a firefighter from Louisville Ky.

Brittany LaDuke

Such a great experience! We are a homeschool family and the kids wanted to take a field trip to see the vintage fire equipment. We ended up getting a tour/history lesson on all different types of fire fighting equipment and a fire safety lesson. I learned so much myself! Tickets are very reasonably priced and the experience is worth every dollar. Consider leaving a donation if you are able. This is a treasured collection we are very lucky to have access too!

Amy Oakley

Our tour guide only comes in on Wednesday. Henry was awesome. Well worth the price of admission. $7 really cool.

Emma G

Wonderful place and an excellent tour, very happy I stopped to check it out

Michael Hasken

This is a great little museum with lots of antique items. When we were there, lots of folks working there were more than willing and we're excited to talk to you about the displays. They even gave our kids a house fire demonstration on what to do if there's a fire at home. And they let kids sit in an old model T fire engine and ring the bells. If you're taking kids, they may not be entertained for a long period of time, but they will still enjoy it nonetheless. And I can't emphasize enough how nice the staff was

Joan Wollschlager

My grandsons and I learned so much about vintage fire station and fire 'trucks'! Lots of history from 1800's.

Gatertech

Went on a feild trip here with my sons school and was very surprised. Great amount of information.

Debbie Hannon

Wonderful collection of vintage fire equipment, a great tribute to our brave firefighters!

Steve Francia

What an EXCELLENT find! Everything "vintage" fire! Take a docent tour - firstly, because they are amazing and love what their subject is, and two - you'll learn SO MUCH from them! Really cool one of a kind and "firsts" items throughout the museum! Give yourself at least an hour - there's that much to see, and it IS handicap accessible. Go and enjoy!

Doug Pruim

We were driving past and saw the cool building, and we randomly decided to go in with our two teens. The place was amazing, and we weren't expecting it to be so thorough and cool. We got a guided tour of the place and saw lots of neat antiques, very well preserved. All four of us for about $20. Highly recommend if you've got an hour to kill. Outside has a nice play area, and just down the street is an awesome painted water tower.

Denny P

Totally Awesome!!! The hosts were friendly and super knowledgeable! A lot of history in this museum. Highly recommend!!!

Joe Kress

This place is a small museum that packs a big punch. Unfortunately I was on a time sensitive tour so we had to leave early. Plan at least an hour or two if you have a serious interest in fire equipment. The indoor displays date from the colonial years to the 1920s with more equipment outside. The tour guides are very knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

Cindy Sheridan

We took our 2 year old grandson. The 2 staff guys were very encouraging and helped him enjoy it thoroughly from ringing fire bells, trying on turn out gear, and sitting in an antique real fire truck to an interactive collection of toy firetrucks and maps of towns to put out fires on. There was something for everyone from little kids to history buffs. Thank you for a great day.

Great museum with wonderful volunteers. For being a 'smaller' non-profit group, a very impressive collection of apparatus and memorabilia; it's one of the nicest collections I've seen of the 3 dozen or so fire museums I've visited across the country. Even more impressive is the fact that you're only seeing about half the collection. The backstory of the person who gathered the collection is a nice bit of history, as well. Entry price is a bargain and helps support the museum. Expect to spend a couple of hours at the most.

Melanie Walling

The new play area is absolutely the best! Not only for the kids, I didn't have any kids with me and spent an hour playing there myself! Corn hole, chess, hopscotch, all kinds of cool stuff for the whole family! Including some very long picnic tables for whatever you fancy.

Michael Daugherty

A lot of interesting items and an extremely knowledgeable staff.

Jessicah Frazier

For the small size, this had a surprisingly large and interesting collection of both fire trucks and historical materials like fire grenades and lanterns. It's very specialized but especially for how cheap it is, it is a great place to go
