Welcome to the Boston Fire Museum, a historical site that has recently undergone a comprehensive renovation. Our museum floor showcases a diverse collection of firefighting artifacts, equipment, and documents that vividly depict the evolution of firefighting technology in the Greater Boston area.

One of the highlights of the museum is a specially curated children's area where young visitors can engage with Boston's firefighting heritage. As the exhibits are continually updated, visitors are encouraged to revisit our website regularly for the latest information and visual displays on the rich history of the oldest paid fire department in the United States.

Located at 344 Congress Street, the Boston Fire Museum is housed in a historic building dating back to 1891, making it the second oldest firehouse in Boston. Throughout its existence, this location has served as home to various engine and ladder companies, showcasing the transition from hand and horse-drawn fire apparatus to modern gas and diesel-powered equipment.

While the Boston Fire Museum isn't the biggest or the most famous museum I've been to in Boston, it's certainly one of the nicest! Tip: Unlike many museums, which charge thirty some-odd dollars...
