about Friendship Firehouse Museum:

Built in 1855, remodeled in 1871, and renovated in 1992, the Friendship Firehouse Museum offers a taste of history with the razzle-dazzle of machinery and heroism thrown in for good measure.

The Engine Room on the first floor houses hand-drawn fire engines, leather water buckets, axes, sections of early rubber hose, and other historic fire-fighting equipment.

The second floor Meeting Room, furnished the way it was during the late 19th century, exhibits various ceremonial objects such as parade uniforms, capes, banners, and other regalia.

getting there:

Take the George Washington Parkway south, past the airport, into Alexandria. The Parkway becomes Washington Street in the City. Turn right on King Street (one mile) and left on S. Alfred Street (the first left). The museum is on your right.
