My camera club went here one blustery night in November. We got full-access to the place. I ran into James up in the attic and he was a wealth of information. There is a ton of gear here. Some of is seems bone-stock and much has been restored. Plenty of cool stuff. You do not have to have an interest in firefight to find this place cool. Not juts for kids, either.

Great firefighting museum in an old firehouse. They have a few antique fire trucks, and a ton of other Elgin firefighting pieces. Admission is cheap and they have open houses with fire trucks rides a few times each year.
