About Racine Firehouse Museum

Firehouse 3 Museum occupies Racine's former Fire Station No. 3 at 700 6th St — a Racine Fire Department station active from 1882 to 1968, preserved to reflect the early 1900s — and is maintained entirely by the volunteer Racine Fire Bells as a living memorial to Racine firefighters. Centerpieces include the 1882 Stephen Freeman (Silsby) 600 gpm steamer and a 1930 Pirsch 1000 gpm motorized pumper, alongside historic apparatus, photographs, and fire-safety exhibits. It is open Sundays 1:00–4:00 PM (except holidays) and by appointment, with free admission.
