"Nice history on the towns firefighters. The kids were allowed to take pictures in one of the older trucks. Some great artifacts that were used to combat fires from the 1800s to the early 1900, and even used by some modern firefighters." - Jeremy C.
"We had a nice private tour with Bob on a quiet, late Sunday afternoon. Lots of fire history and lore surrounded by great restored equipment, photos and historical artifacts. It's a big little museum." - Kat Mc.
