About Uppertown Firefighters Museum

Run by the Clatsop County Historical Society, this Astoria museum holds a large set of firefighting apparatus from the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Visitors can see engines that were pulled by hand, drawn by horses, or powered by motors. The displays also include fire service memorabilia and photographs. The society's site lists the museum as closed for the season and gives no regular hours, so check before visiting.
