Insider Tours: Denver Firefighters Museum
Friday, September 27 & Saturday, September 28
About the tour: Join the Denver Firefighters Museum team for an inside look at the history of the museum! These tours will last 20-30 minutes and start 15 minutes after each hour from 10am-4pm, with the exception of 12:15pm.
About the museum: Just north of a collection of government buildings that run the axis of Civic Center Park and the Denver Capitol is the building that was the first firehouse built for Denver. Labeled as Fire Station No. 1 at the time, it now sits tucked in the shadow of a municipal building and between a hotel and parking lot north of Colfax at Tremont Place. Since 1978 it has served as a museum dedicated to honoring the history of the Denver Fire Department and firefighting, in general. It was originally built to contain horse-drawn fire wagons and horse stalls, but after the Denver Fire Department began to motorize its fleets, the building was altered in 1934.
