Ypsilanti, Michigan

History, Specialized

The Museum is located in Ypsilanti, Michigan in a historic firehouse constructed in 1898 and used by the city of Ypsilanti until 1975. Museum founders Howard and Norma Weaver purchased the firehouse in 1999 with the vision to establish a museum. A new 10,000 square foot addition to the historic building was completed in the summer of 2002 as part of the Museum.

Our exhibits focus on the history of fire fighting in the State of Michigan and fire fighting technology. We actively collect Michigan fire fighting equipment and related archival materials. Our collections include fire trucks, extinguishers, emblems, bells, hats, helmets, ladders, breathing apparatus, clothing, hose carts, nozzles and toy fire trucks.

As we gather for the Oregon Museums Association 2024 Annual Conference in Coos Bay, the conference theme “Ebb & Flow” acknowledges the nearby coastline while providing a metaphor to reflect on the work of Oregon’s museums today

It can feel like the sands are shifting as museums face challenges and opportunities like changing patterns of visitorship, evolving technologies, revised funding strategies, and peoples’ desire for community.

The 2024 conference will explore contemporary issues facing museums, so that together we can take the helm to identify solutions and successfully steer our work forward

Whether you are an emerging professional just getting your feet wet, in the mid-career flow, or an established leader navigating the depths of museum work, we invite you to join us at The Mill Casino Hotel in Coos Bay, September 8-10, 2024.
