Station 1 Museum
Fire Station 1, 700 N. Drew Street has quite a collection of past firefighting equipment and memorabilia on display. The entire lobby of the station has been taken back in time to represent the older days of firefighting. The display items include an old desk used by the Fire Chief and old photographs of past firefighters. 

If you are interested in donating or loaning past firefighting tools, equipment or memorabilia, please call 832-5810. Our department historian is Firefighter Brad Brautigam--fourth generation Brautigam to work at the Appleton Fire Department. Brad will get back to you about putting the items on display at our fire station.
