ON THE COVER:
Fire Museum
of Maryland
Located in Lutherville, Baltimore
County, the Fire Museum of Maryland
opened in 1971 and began to collect,
preserve and display a wide variety of
artifacts, equipment and information
pertaining to urban fire history. Visitors
can enjoy over 40 pieces of fire
apparatus, a working fire alarm office,
life in an 1871 firehouse, and many
other exhibits and displays. The Kids’
Discovery Room is an ideal place for
children to put on gear and climb on a
full-size fire engine.
The Museum hosts a number of
special events throughout the year
including the Annual Steam Day,
Lantern Night, Family Safety Day, The
Great Baltimore Fire Coach Tour, the
Holiday Train Garden, Honoring Our
Heroes, and several events involving
fire wagon rides, games for children,
and story times.
Throughout the year, the Museum
is host to school groups and works
within the county’s STEM curriculum
to assist students in meeting certain
requirements. Tours and outreach
programs are also available for adults.
The Museum is open year-round to
walk-in traffic on Saturdays. In the
summer months, the Museum is open
Wednesday through Saturday. Come
see everything that is shiny and red –
or yellow, orange, green or blue! Visit
or call
410-321-7500 for further information.
