Answer the call to this unique fire museum adventure
The York County Fire Museum is in the historic 1903 Royal Fire House. The museum allows visitors to see how York firefighters worked, lived and played. The building holds more than 225 years of firefighting equipment representative of the 72 fire companies of York County. Exhibits and objects on display include six fire trucks ranging from the 1920s to the 1950s, hand-drawn pumpers, uniforms, and historic alarm systems. A third-floor room recreates a firefighters’ dormitory, where firemen slept during their shifts. The museum is open seasonally from April to November on Saturdays only. A museum visit is included with your general admission ticket.
