Spend an hour or two looking over this collection of fire-fighting gear and equipment that dates back to the 1700s.
The Oklahoma State Firefighters Museum is a museum owned and administered by the Oklahoma State Firefighters Association (OSFA). The museum is financed by the dues collected from more than 9,000 firefighters, and is located at 2716 N.E. 50th Street in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The museum is devoted entirely to the preservation and display of antique fire apparatus and equipment. It contains a remarkable collection of antique gear, dating back to the mid-18th century, and also holds the first fire station in Oklahoma Territory, built in 1864. Many items from the oldest fire company in the United States, commanded by Benjamin Franklin, are on display. Exhibits also include the world's largest patch collection and the distinctive mural The Last Alarm. The building is also home to the Oklahoma State Firefighters Association (OSFA), the Oklahoma Fire Chiefs Association (OFCA), the Council on Firefighter Training (COFT) and the Oklahoma Retired Firefighters Association (ORFA) offices.

Science and technology museum. Good for children and teens. The museum is air conditioned, so if you're trying to do everything in one day, spend the morning at the zoo and the afternoon here.
