Used in Hunter, Oklahoma, from 1890 to 1910, it was a source of pride to the community. Children find it fun, interesting and exciting. Adults say they've never seen anything like it. Attractions outside allow unlimited imaginations but once the museum doors swing wide, their attention is directed to the remarkable collection of antique fire apparatus, tools and machinery used since 1736. The Firefighters Museum houses the large, colorful Ben Dancy shoulder patch collection, over 4,500.
Exhibits offer a spectrum of educational and historic memorabilia.
Real firefighting afficianados will recognize the many classic fire engines housed at the museum. The 1917 REO Hose and Chemical Truck. The 1870 Hunneman Hand Pumper. The Amoskeag 1861 Steamer, capable of pumping 600 gallons per minute. And the beautiful 1910 American LaFrance Type 5 chemical and hose truck.
