What visitors say
Such a neat museum focused on the local fire department. Incredible they held onto several apparatus original to their department. They did a wonderful job incorporating the museum into active fire station 1. It is self guided. No…
Great little exhibit! Such a cool piece of history, I especially loved seeing the old water pump and the call center desk! But where the hot firemen at 🤣🤣 Jk
What a great facility. The museum is attached to a working station that happens to be the busiest in Marietta. The firefighters are very friendly and outgoing. They are great ambassadors for this city. It is worth your time to take in…
