new orleans fire department and museum

I had found this place while searching for small museums and stopped by on a weekday only to realize that since the COVID, they only do tours by appointment per the instructions on the door. If you fill out a request on nola.gov/nofd/contact-us/ and provide all of the pertinent information, they will get back to you very quickly to schedule a tour. Parking is street parking only. The gentleman who did the tour has been in the fire department for over two decades, has a wealth of information in his head. There is the very first ever "fire truck" here and several iterations therein. The entire tour was very engaging, entertaining and informative. I came on this tour alone, but this would be good for large groups as well. Quite the amazing place. Free to tour, just must schedule in advance. I highly recommend this.
