Many vintage fire trucks, fire apparatus,1800-1900's fire fighting equipment and an area devoted to 9/11 which brought me returned sadness. They allow you to take as many photo's as you like. And I did proudly. Rules are no standing on any fire trucks what so ever. Browsing only.

I was brought up in Hudson, lived a very short distance from the Museum. The grounds have been updated beautifully.

When I was there, several children were having a great time. What kid doesn't want to be a firefighter? Such big smiles and activity. A great (albeit small) collection of firefighting apparatus displayed throughout. Many hands-on activities for children. Most of the trucks you can't climb on, touch or otherwise handle. There are a couple that kids can get really up-close.I always love coming here to take pics. My trip there yesterday was great too.

Great collection of firematics. Wonderful for kids. Hands on stuff for kids. Many old firetrucks and memorabilia.

What great place for a family or adults. My granddaughter just loved putting on the firefighter outfit and going in four firetrucks. I could not believe how many fire engines were in the museum. Very small fee a family of four $10.00

We went here just to do something we thought would be kind of quirky and out of the way, expecting it to be a place we might spend 10 minutes or so becuase it is hyped as something for kids, but WOW were we surprised. We spent 2 hours here and had to leave for an appointment, but we could have spent 2 more hours here. Remember that the stuff upstairs is much cooler than the old fire trucks on the floor where you enter. This is the most incredible collection of interesting (for anyone, not just firefighters) equipment, videos, fire engines, horns (what they used to blow to tell firefighters what to do - kind of like cavalry horns - because spoken orders could never have been heard above the confusion and din of a real raging fire), leather buckets (you could not use wooden buckets back in colonial days because they would get too hot and burn, while leather buckets would not, and all kinds of amazing things that have been used to fight fires. who knew that the way you knew that the place you were in when fighting the fire was too hot for you to stay was when your ears started burning! Who knew that they did not use horses to haul fire equipment around untli the late 1800's, before that, people dragged that stuff to the fire. Who knew that before horse drawn or motorized equipment, people just ran to the fire and then had to rest, many times for a really long time before they were rested enough to put out the fire. Who knew that the use of horses to pull fire wagons was viciously contested when they were introduced because fire fighters back in the 1870's thought the horses would take away their jobs. This an so much more you can learn and see at this museum. It is a must see for anyone, not just little boys. The part and videos about the fire horses was amazing. They have real footage of them working and the stories of how depressed they would get when they got too old to pull fire wagons or how when they were retired and reused as horses to pull milk wagons, when they would hear the fire bells ringing, they would still rush to the fire. Amazing stuff. It is on the gounds of what appears to be the old firefighter's home, I guess where retired fire fightrers go to retire.

Visited with 24 firefighters/wives from Lancaster Fire Dept- Lancaster NY. It was a great space...many vintage firetrucks (including our own Protective Hose Company's engine), displays and hands on activities for young and old. A must for anyone in the fire service.We also popped over to the Home on the Hudson for a tour of the facility, which was beautiful, and well run.

Fascinating for kids and adults -- we spent three hours and there was more to see. The historical write-ups are excellent -- back to the Romans -- and George Washington's chewing out of some "tourists" was priceless.

Having been severely burned in a fire in 2003, I am alway very interested in the evolution of firefighting techniques. This is a good little museum.

I am the curator for a fire museum in Wellington, New Zealand and had heard from local New Yorkers that I should make the time to visit the FASNY Museum of Firefighting. I have traveled the world visiting other museums and fire collections and would have to say this is one of the greatest collections I have come across. I was also very impressed by the children's education areas that are well thought out and interactive. If you are in the Hudson area or just passionate as I am about saving our fire fighting history I highly recommend taking the opportunity to pay this museum a visit.Also I found the Hudson township welcoming and very friendly after meeting a local on the train he showed me to the main street where we had brunch before I left to visit the museum. Thank you and keep up the great work!
