Description
This building was built in 1876 to house the headquarters for the county fire department. The volunteer firemen were members of a system whose origins can be traced to the first American Fire Company originally organized by Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia. The museum has a collection of old fire fighting apparatus, uniforms and photos from that era. You can learn the history of the Knickerbocker and Liberty Engine Company, the members of this elite club and their acts of heroism. Admission is free. Donations are accepted.
