The Haverhill Firefighting
Museum has always been a
hit with adults but when
families came, children
were often done long
before the adults. Who
could blame them - in a
museum you’re not
supposed to touch!
 
Museum Mascot Dottie the Dalmatian
colors with friends!
 
The Children’s corner
has dress up gear for
kids so they can play
on the fire truck
dressed like real
firemen!
 
A  young boy
dressed in
fire gear
pretends to
put out a fire.
 
 
This hose and reel allows children to experience what it
feels like to pull the hose and attach it to the fire truck.
 
Two boys attempt to
hook the hose to the
fire truck.
 
A female firefighter
attaches the hose to
 the fire truck.
 
 
There is so much we want to do to enhance the
experience children have when they visit the
museum!
 
 
 
 
We want to add computer  and communications
technology to the fire truck,  and add
interactive displays  that teach children history
and fire safety.
 
 
 
We would like to add a play ambulance,  and
a fire pole with thick mats.
 
We need protective floor padding in the
entire Children’s Corner.
 
We are creating a third grade classroom
curriculum to bring into school classrooms.
 
We  are continually enhancing our field trip
tours when classrooms and groups visit the
museum.
 
We are creating a timeline display of  firefighting
uniforms and apparatus from colonial times to
present day.
 
We need a ramp for handicap access.
 
We would like to extend our hours.
 
We would like to start firefighting history tours in
Haverhill.
 
 
We can also create a custom sponsorship just for you!
