While the museum is small, it’s packed with a lot of quality interesting historical fire trucks and memorabilia and my son absolutely loved it.

I took a class of twelve 4 year old to the museum on a field trip. We scheduled the trip in advance and they provided our class with two tour guides to walk us through the exhibit, share stories, and answer questions. They were amazing guides! Because of the positive experience with the field trip I soon after brought my daughter (age 4) to the Marietta Fire Museum. She was very excited to get a chance to see the trucks both new and old close up. The museum is small and so it doesn't take long to walk though which makes it a perfect place to stop at on your trip into the Downtown...
