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.
NFD 175th Anniversary Celebration
Please join the Newton Fire Department in celebrating our 175th Anniversary on September 24, 2011, 12:00 Noon at the Newton Fire Museum. Retired FDNY Firefighter Dan Potter will be on hand to recount his experiences at the World Trade Center on 9/11. Learn about the Newton Fire Department's rich 175 year history and enjoy a free raffle with some great prizes. This will be an event to remember, don't miss it!
New Hours for 2011!
The museum is open May through October on Fridays and Saturdays from 12:00 noon until 8:00 PM. Group tours are available year-round by appointment.
...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.
