The Boston Fire Museum, owned and operated by the Boston Sparks Association, has occupied the old firehouse at 344 Congress St, Boston, since 1983. The goal of the Museum is to preserve and display fire fighting memorabilia from the Greater Boston area, educate and inform the general public on fire safety, restore and maintain the "Landmark" building we occupy, and to support the fire service in general. See a number of vintage fire engines, including a hand-drawn, hand-operated pumper dating to 1793, and memorable photos from famous Boston fires.
Open Saturdays, 11 a.m. - 5 p.m., or by appointment. Admission is free.
