Fireman's Hall Museum

I've never been inside the Fireman's Hall Museum, but I walked by it over the weekend and it's a gorgeous building from the outside. I'd like to head back to Old City to have a looksy as to what's inside this building and the rest of the museum

It's a 100+ year old building which underwent renovations in the late seventies [a thorough cleaning, installation of a stained glass window, climate control and an additional wing] via some special Philadelphia Bicentennial funding. More on the history of the building here.

One of my friends just went to this place. She really enjoyed it and wanted to return without a kid. (Her neighbor's 3 year old was there too - very kid friendly place by the way). Apparently the firemen who staff the museum are firefighters who have been put on light duty work, not necessarily retirees.
