This is a great historic museum covering the history of new bedford fire fighting.

Phenomenal experience. The guy working there showed us the engine he worked on from the 1950s. The kids loved the fire pole and sitting in the trucks.

Very informative. The volunteers were knowledgeable and super kid friendly with the little ones. Every resident should visit and support our city and fireman.

This place just keeps getting better - we loved the new air conditioning! Our camp looks forward to this museum every year. It is by far our favorite summer field trip and this year they added AC. The firemen are friendly and the kids love all the hands on experiences. They can sit in the antique fire trucks, turn the steering wheels and sound the horns. They get to try on fire hats, boots and coats and slide down the fire pole. They get to roam around the bunk rooms and the Fire Captain’s office/bedroom. I highly recommend this place to kids and anyone who remembers the firehouses of yesteryear. This place is unique, wonderful and a must see when visiting New Bedford.
