The Fire Museum of Maryland Opens for the Season

The Fire Museum of Maryland located at 1301 York Road in Lutherville, MD  opens for the season with its 35th annual Steam Show on Saturday May 5, 2012.

The show features draft horses and dalmatians.

There will be demonstrations of late 1800's horse drawn fire engines and rides in an 1899 hose wagon.  Kids will love  joining in firefighting contests and watching a magician performing inside the museum. 

Children and adults can run under the cascades of water from the 65 foot water tower that shoots water up to 100 feet.  

Learn about the history of the fire service and see how fire engines operated in the late 1800's, including steam fire engine demonstrations, and try your hand at operating the 1853 hand pumped fire engine. 

The museum will be open Saturdays from May  through December from 10 am to 4pm and June through August Wednesday through Saturday from 10am to 4pm.

Admission:

Adults ... $12
