Fireman's Hall is located at 147 N and 2nd St. That's just north of Elfreth's Alley. They request a donation and it's open between 10 AM and 4:30 PM. We enjoyed the old fire engines and my son tested out their heavy coats. Worth a brief visit.

It is rare to see a nice (and free) museum for firefighters, especially with so much real exhibits of equipment and engines. The museum, once was a real fire hall, is located conviently near Elfreth's Alley. Pay a visit there and get to know a special kind of history!

Some great history to be learned and told by guys who do the job! Thank you Brothers for making this experience possible

If you go to Elfreth's Alley, go another 100 yards past it and go into the 2 story converted firehouse that is now a museum. See the antique equipment on the first floor and then go upstairs and look at the history of the fire department in Philadelphia

Love this place, they have no charge, only ask for a donation. Staff friendly and very knowledgeable, really cool items on display

This is a great trip for the family , right next to all the historic sights in Philly. The museum contains relics of fire fighting. Old uniforms, tools, newspaper articles and interactive exhibits. The entrance is free, but I brought my wife a cool, Philadelphia fire dept. t-shirt, to help the cause. I did not that this was the first... More

Has lots of old fire equipment and fire house articles. Also has a stirring 911 exhibit. Would recommend.

The coolest firefighting oriented museum. Small, free, unbelievable collection of cool fire fighting memorabilia, antiques and significant items. Even the water pump from George Washington's first home as president (yes, it was in Philly). DON'T MISS this gem. Can be through it in an hour and it is inspiring.

Hats off to those who made this happen. Very nice display and a great addition to all the history located in this area.
