The Firefighters Historical Museum is one of Eries most unknown attractions. The firefighting history and exhibits are unbelievable. The hours are odd (because its run solely by volunteers I think), but its more than worth it to stop by and see if theyre open.
This is a very interesting place to visit especially if u were or are a firefighter. The display of equipment and history this fire station has is mind blowing, was only planning on being there a half hour and didnt walk out til almost 2 hrs later. The gentlemen that gave the tour was great knew alot bout all the stuff in there n was very nice n friendly. Very recommended to visit. These are just some of the pix i took, there is alot more, just a taste of what you will see if you visit the fire station.
This is an awesome collection of firefighter antiques and memorabilia. The history of these heroic public servants and their equipment is absolutely amazing and must be shared with our younger generations! Many thanks to the retired firefighters who preserve this important part of American history for all of us. And as always, thank you to all the firefighters and emergency responders of past and present for their true grit in service of our communities.
A very quaint museum with a lot of very interesting history of firefighting. Especially nice for me because of growing up with a family of fire personnel.
We came from out of state and we planned to visit this museum - tucked in a residential neighborhood. We parked off street just watch closely the parking signs. The tour guide was Great explaining all the history and artifacts pertaining to firefighting. Huge collection of antiques and vintage artifacts, memorabilia and select trucks from horse drawn to early 1900’s. Two floors and the back section. Guided tours. Took about an hour and a half to go through. Learned so much about historical firefighting. Worth the money we paid. The couple who manage this place were friendly and nice. Some souvenir shirt available at affordable price. Bring your kids - they may get inspired like we were. We left with a greater appreciation of how firefighters sacrifice for us to be safe. Thank you - we love it. Worth the trip.
Awesome tribute to all fire fighters. Highly recommend going
Awesome place will definitely go back some day.
Excellent and extensive collection of local fire fighting memorabilia in an early 1900s fire house packed with displays for kids and adults. Working fire alarm box. Fire pole. Restored engines. Collection of gear and suites from every era. Highly recommended.
