The location- a 1901 Manchester firehouse. On display you'll find a wide variety of fire fighting equipment and memorabilia ranging from leather fire buckets used by the first settlers, to early motorized fire apparatus. This rare beauty reflects a time when local fire departments not only provided fire protection, but also served as a social and political force in the community. A wonderful and unique experience for adults and children. The Fire Museum will bring the history and excitement of fire fighting in days gone by colorfully alive.
Admission is by donation.
The Fire Museum is located at 230 Pine Street, Manchester, Connecticut, at the intersection with Hartford Road.
