Largest collection of Fire Engines anywhere. Many Vintage engines from hand pumpers to ladder trucks

The museum is handicap accessible and very clean. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The only downside is very little parking. But since it's off the beaten trail, we had no parking issue. The equipment is very nice and not dusty. There are plenty to see for any fire museum enthusiasts.

Lived in Ypsi for years and had never been. Took my grandkids there one afternoon for something to do. They found it fascinating. The firetrucks range from horse drawn to more recent designs. Many pictures and displays to look at. Worth a visit.

There's lot to see at this museum. The building is large, very clean, well lit, well organized with plaques at each exhibit to provide information and history about the various items in the collections. There is collections of fire trucks from about 1968 very early, the kind utilizing horse power and hand pulled. Many were on loan and nearly all were in tip top condition. (If I had a fire engine or other fire related artifact, I would be happy to loan it to this museum.) There's was also collections of ladders, hats, fire grenades (I had never heard of them, they were used early to extinguish fires), the nets used to catch people who jumped, badges, bells, sirens, etc. You name it, they had it. And we didn't get past the main floor because we arrived so close to their closing time at 4 PM. A nice selection of fire-engine related toys is available for purchase. We enjoyed this museum although neither has a friend or family member who is a fire fighter. The only thing that would have made this visit better, is a docent who might have provided additional information and, perhaps, negated the vast silence that greeted us. Other than the staff, we were the only ones in the building.The cost of the museum self-guided tour was $5.00.

One of the early fire stations in Ypsilanti was purchased and added onto to create this museum. There are many early horse drawn fire engines along with early fire trucks. It is a very nice collection of fire equipment that is very nicely displayed.

If you like fire engines, you'll love this museum! Located in a historic firehouse a short walk from Ypsilanti's Depot Town, this museum features fire engines from recent times all the way back to horse-drawn engines of yesteryear, most restored to their original condition. Walk through on your own or take a guided tour as your interest and time allow.....

This was a small but well thought out museum. I was impressed with the number of items they had to look at, especially the extremely old fire trucks, sirens, etc. There a few children with their parents and they seemed to really enjoy it. We were offered free plastic fire hats after we paid the $5 entrance fee (for adults), but we good-naturedly declined. This is a place you would just drive by and never think to stop in if you lived in the area, but it was worth the visit.

Great venue for private parties. they allow you to bring in food from approved vendors. Lots of space with interesting items

Lots of local history here. A good place to go alone or for a family. Kids will enjoy seeeing the old fire engines.

Lots of antique fire engines and equipment. Well worth a visit. The building itself is very interesting and the pictures of the changes over time as intriguing.
