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.

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.
