To visit the Bare Cove Fire Museum
will be to experience firsthand the
exciting development of firefighting technology as it occurred throughout
other farming communities, especially in New England.
With an extraordinary collection of artifacts, equipment, and documents,
along with the restored antique fire apparatus, Bare Cove Fire Museum
tells the story of the men and machines who worked heroically to save
lives and property.
Since 1974, this nonprofit educational institution has been dedicated
to the preservation
and presentation of firefighting history as it occurred in the town of
Hingham, Massachusetts.
This remarkably complete record of one community's past offers a very
special opportunity to learn how firefighting developed in cities
and towns like Hingham, all across America.
