Overview

Imagine the clang of the fire bell, the smell of smoke and the feel of hot steam as firefighters of the past raced to save burning homes in Yarmouth and in communities all across Nova Scotia. Visit the Firefighters’ Museum of Nova Scotia in Yarmouth and see the types of fire engines used in Nova Scotia from the 1800s to the 1930s.

Marvel at antique hand-drawn operated engines such as Canada’s oldest horse-drawn steam engine, an 1863 Amoskeag Steamer. Take the wheel of a 1935 Chev Bickle pumper as you discover the history of firefighting in our province. The museum also features a collection of antique toy fire engines, uniforms; as well as a collection of shoulder crests, patches and badges from fire departments around the world.

Open year-round with hours of operation changing seasonally

Bus tours are welcome.

Starting on the week of May 4th we will be open 5 days a week that month (9-5 Monday-Friday), and planning on being open 7 days a week in June (9-5). In September we will go to 9-5 Monday-Friday until the end of October, where we will go to Tuesday-Friday (9am-4pm), until the start of May 2027.
