Collections are available to researchers by appointment only

As we transition to our new home at Engine House No.6 and move artifacts to a storage facility access to our general collections will be temporarily closed so that we can preserve, properly store, and organize these artifacts. Our full collection will be ready for view once we complete our move. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to make our collections more accessible than ever before.
