Located in the historic Eagle Fire Station which dates back to 1914, the Hanover Fire Museum preserves and showcases over 200 years of fire-fighting history. The museum is an excellent attraction for families who can find out how the fire-fighting industry evolved over the decades. For example, most people do not realize that early fire fighters had just leather buckets between them and a blaze, and had to attend to fires using hand-drawn or horse-drawn fire carts. Apparatus on display in the museum includes several beautifully restored fire engines and other related items. The historic fire museum is open every Wednesday and on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month – or by prior arrangement.
