The Engine 3 Firehouse, one of the oldest stations in the City, was acquired in 1988 by gift of the city. Originally located on Endicott Street, the building was dismantled and reconstructed by volunteers, over a period of 8 years. The building now stands next to the Old Apple Barn, as the Peabody Historical Fire Museum. Our Headquarters, the General Gideon Foster House has become a museum, housing most of our many collections. It is also the site of our widely used research library which is a treasure trove of information about Peabody places and people.
Visitors are always welcome.
