FIREFIGHTING MUSEUM

To say that Dylan likes fire trucks is a gross understatement.  They are quite possibly his favorite thing.  So, this weekend, we took him to a firefighting museum.  They have a number of firefighting items on display dating back to 1725.  In addition to the historical items, they have a 1951 fire truck that kids can explore as well as an area for children to play and learn about fire safety.  We happened to be there the day of a special event and pretty much had the museum to ourselves.  Dylan had so much fun and has been asking to go back already!

How cool is some of this historic gear?  Leather hats and buckets.  They had a really cool leather and metal fire hose as well.  The carriages and sleds they used were pretty amazing and so beautiful.

Dylan loved the children’s exhibit where you learn about fire safety, can drive a child size historic fire truck and dress up as a firefighter.  Alexis got in on the action too, she makes a pretty cute firefighter.
