Newton Fire Museum
Over 170 Years of Fire Service History
An amazing collection
The Newton Fire Museum is located in the historic Spring Street firehouse, built in 1891. Our collection includes fascinating firefighting equipment dating back to the days when horses were used to pull the fire apparatus.
Closed for Renovations
Our historic Spring Street Firehouse will undergoing a complete renovation in 2012. While it's unfortunate that the museum can't be open during this time, we're excited that the renovation will allow us to bring an upgraded and enhanced museum experience to Newton and all of Sussex County. Groups interested in tours related to public safety or fire prevention should also consider scheduling a tour of our modern firehouses and equipment. Contact for more information.
...and a few notes
The Newton Fire Museum is staffed entirely by firefighters from the Newton Fire Department and depends 100% on donations to keep it operating. Without continued support from our community, the fire museum would not be possible.
