If you ever wanted to be a firefighter, then you will be delighted in this museum. It is situated in a firehouse built at the turn of the century and is filled with everything from horse-drawn fire fighting equipment and the "jaws of life" to model fire trucks. Guided tours are available by advanced appointment only.
