Hidden gem of unknown history that not very many people would consider. I was truly inspired by the history this museum holds.

The African American Firefighter Museum is a hidden jewel. Attended a family holiday party here. The interior space is intimate. There is a small, however, adequate kitchen and bathroom available. Both were very clean and handicap accessible. A private parking lot is available and there is a small garden with well maintained roses! If you are not aware of the AAFMs location, Im sure you have driven pass this jewel a thousand times. What a historical location. Very nice.

Our middle and high school and Angeles Workshop School goes on a field trip every week and loves visiting this museum. The docent Jimmy was fantastic and gave us a very real yet inspiring account of the struggles and triumphs of African American firefighters in LA over its history. They also host events in this historic fire station
