Central Ohio Fire Museum, llc

I visited the Central Ohio Fire Museum recently [10-24-2019] during a leisurely afternoon stroll between Italian Village and Franklinton.

I had arrived at the Central Ohio Fire Museum about twenty minutes before they would be closing so the guy at the entrance let me in for free. Actually, I probably would have spent only about twenty minutes there anyway.

I had been able to see, during my brief visit, several things that I clearly remember from my childhood [for example, a former black-and-white embossed City-of-Columbus "street sign" design that is no longer used and a former yellow "telephone call box," to be mounted on a telephone pole, that is no longer used].

The Central Ohio Fire Museum building is historic because it had served for many years as a Columbus Fire Department fire house. The "No. 16 ENGINE HOUSE" words are clearly visible on the front wall of the building above the large doors.

The "OSU-Michigan football rivalry" had been clearly evident at the Central Ohio Fire Museum. The horse for a horse-drawn fire truck in the center of the room had been wearing both a "University of Michigan" cap [on the right side of its head] and a "The Ohio State University" cap [with only the word "THE" visible on the front] [on the left side of its head].
