Fire Engines - The museum has 15 antique Fire Engines and one hose cart. Eleven of the trucks are restored and the other four are in various stages of restoration. They range from a 1929 Studebaker to a 1970 Mack, but most are from the 30's, 40's, and early 50's. The trucks are operational and equipped with most of the original equipment of their day.

The restoring of the units are all done by the museum owner John Mathieu.

Some of the trucks arrive at the museum needing minor work but some take almost a year to complete.

The museum also has a large collection of antiques fire engines pictures. Some of these pictures were used in the restoration of the units in the museum. Several of the units have been donated, we always welcome donated vehicles. Donated trucks are always restored with the donating fire departments name painted on the doors. The museum also has a large collection of fire extinguishers.

Patch Collection - The museum also has a large collection of Fire, Police, and Emergency Medical Service uniform patces, so bring a patch with you. We Trade!

Antique Automobiles - The antique automobile collection of the museum has 8 cars, from 1929 to 1972. Four other vehicles are being restored and will be a part of the collection soon.

Soda Pop - The soft drink or (soda pop) collection is one of the nations largest. The collection has over 3000 soda pop bottles displayed and covers a 54 foot wall and is eight feet tall. It continues to grow.

The museum has several hundred antique soda pop cans, and we also have a beer can collection. We have approximately 200 antique soda pop signs on the wall of the museum. The signs are a combination of metal and paper advertising but most of the signs are metal. From the time you enter the front doors until you leave you will see the signs. They also decorate the front of the museum building. For more information on soda pop check our links.

Vending Machines - The vending machines are mostly from the late 30's to the early 60's. Do any of you remember when you could buy 5 and 10 cent soda from a soda pop box? We have 10 on display.

Each block has hand prints of a visitor to the museum with their name engraved above their print. The wall is, so far, 100 feet long and 9 1/2 feet tall, and continues to grow.
