Welcome To                   

The Never Ending Adventure beginning in 1987 with just an idea, the Mansfield Fire Museum was born.

With the purchase of the former Five Cousins Department Store in 1989, the Museum has a home. After two years of basic building repairs, work on the Museum began in earnest.

Although progress seemed slow, especially after a few minor set backs, the Museum opened October 12, 1994.

Even though the Museum was opened, there were some things unfinished. Some still remain that way as new ideas are being developed.

It is now apparent that the Mansfield Fire Museum will never be a finished product. It will continue to grow and change as new ideas, equipment, and displays comes! 

-G.L. Williams, Original Director of the Mansfield Fire Museum
