Uppertown Firefighters Museum — Attraction in Astoria

That had items from the 1800’s and items leading up to present. You can really learn a lot about the firefighters in Astorias Smokey history. You would be shocked to find out about the fires that have burned this city down. Also one absolutely huge plus is we had the best tour guide anyone could ask for and his name was KEVIN!!! He knew his information, he was funny, he is a firefighter in the area so he could give you a better explanation on everything and personal experiences. We even talked about his paintings in the museum. Truly a great experience at this small museum! Take the hole family and enjoy yourself....
