Newark Fire Museum, Newark Fire Department Historical Association - Newark, NJ

The Newark Museum is located at 43 Washington Street in the City of Newark, NJ. Founded 1909, the museum opened its doors in 1926. The Newark Fire Museum, formerly the Ward Carriage House (c1860), is located in the courtyard of the Newark Museum. The Newark Fire Department Historical Association moved into the Ward Carriage House in July of 1967. The Newark Museum is in the process of developing a long range plan for enhancing the collection of the Newark Fire Museum. This one is my very favorite fire museums. Not only because of my ties to the Newark Fire Department, but it is the first fire museum I ever visited. I’m looking forward to seeing the collection after its enhancement.
