Ring the Alarm, Get on Your Gear, and Visit the National Fire Museum

Honor America’s unsung heroes at the Pennsylvania National Fire Museum, where the history of firefighting is celebrated to its fullest potential. Located in a beautiful 1899 Victorian firehouse, the museum represents a long chronology of firefighting history and artifacts—from classic hand-drawn equipment to contemporary tools to save lives. Wander throughout the venue to catch a glimpse of unique old fire engines, a fully restored Gamewell alarm headquarters, an 1867 parade carriage, video presentations, and hundred of other unique items that will illustrate the history of this life-saving activity. Once you've had your fill, be sure to stop off at the gift shop where a bevy of souvenirs—from kitschy to collectable—will round out your memorable experience.
