UPPERTOWN FIREFIGHTERS MUSEUM
"The Uppertown Firefighters Museum houses an extensive collection of fire fighting equipment and memorabilia dating as far back as the 1880's. There are hand-pulled, horse-drawn and motorized fire engines and vivid photographic displays of some of Astoria's most spectacular fires.
The historic 1896 building originally was part of the popular North Pacific Brewery which was closed by Prohibition in 1915. In 1928 the City of Astoria rebuilt the building as the Uppertown Fire Station #2. In 1960 it was retired and in 1989 the City of Astoria gave the building to the Clatsop County Historical Society for use as a museum. Much of the historic equipment on exhibit was also donated by the City."
