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.
When is the museum open?
The museum is open May through October on Thursdays from 5:00 PM until 8:00 PM and on Saturdays from 11:00 AM until 3:00 PM. Group tours are available year-round by appointment.
...and a few notes
The Newton Fire Museum is staffed entirely by volunteer 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.
