Milwaukee Fire Museum

If you have kids who are wild about fire trucks, then you won’t want to miss this hidden gem in Milwaukee.

Only open on the first Sunday of each month (April – December, excluding holidays) from noon to 4 p.m., the Fire Museum features a dormitory-style bunk room, an alarm area and a fire officer’s office. It is one of five fire stations of this style built in 1927. The museum houses the first department ambulance, a 1947 Cadillac, plus two trucks built in the Milwaukee Fire Department Shop during the 1920’s and 30’s. The building also has a vintage kitchen, locker room, and hose tower.
