About Michigan Firehouse Museum

The museum shares firefighting history and promotes fire safety. It occupies an original 1898 firehouse alongside a modern, multilevel exhibit space. Visitors can see antique fire trucks, early fire rigs, historic tools and memorabilia, and what the museum calls the largest collection of fire truck bells in the country. It is open Thursday through Sunday afternoons, and group tours can be booked by appointment.
