Open House: East Greenwich Veteran Firemen’s Museum  (Member Meetings)
11:00 am to 1:00 pm
80 Queen Street, East Greenwich
Did you know that East Greenwich has one of the best fire truck museums in Rhode Island? The 5-year-old museum will be open to the public on Saturday, May 17th from 10 am to 1 pm with meticulously restored vintage fire trucks inside and outside the Museum building at 80 Queen Street. The trucks, shined to a high gloss red, include a 1920 Fox fire truck to more modern machines of the 1960s. Visitors can view antique fire memorabilia and an East Greenwich Little League parade with fire trucks, filmed in the 1960s. Take photos of your kids wearing a fire hat while perched on the running boards of these historic beauties. Youngsters will be able to climb into a refurbished King Midget car and blow its wah-wah horn. Museum spokesman Bob Farrell promises a few more surprises. The free program is sponsored by the Fireman’s Association and the East Greenwich Historic Preservation Society. Light refreshments will be available.
