Must see if you're in the area. The Staff on-site are very helpful. The engine is well kept. Off the beaten path.
It is one of the oldest Fire Staions in Atlanta, now turned into a museum in the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historicsl Park in Atlanta. Gives an insight into this historical area.... very well maintained.
Very informative, and our guide/ historian Mrs. Sunshine was amazing! The proximity to Martin Luther King's birth home and it being his playground was surprising. There is a video telling of the history of Auburn Street.
The fire engine is a hit with kids. I had no idea about the stories of MLK Jr playing here as a boy. The fire station is a poignant glimpse into the history of MLK Jr and the neighborhood as well as fire stations of Atlanta. Definitely worth a stop.
Martin Luther King used to play here as a kid. Living just 2 houses away, next to the station, he, as all little boys want, wantend to become a fireman. Sliding down the 2 fire poles, alongside the fireman, felt like being one. Building his dream of becoming one. As a fully grown man, he was not allowed to do that anymore. This made him see and realize that all people were not equal, but should be.
Learned a lot here from the volunteer, he shared the history of this fire station.
This is part of the Department of Interior National Park Services. This facility is part of Martin Luther King Jr National Historic Site. This is a historic Firestation Museum at Martin Luther King Jr National Historic Site. If the park is understaff, this facility may be close due to underfunding.
First racially integrated fire station in the 1960s contains historic fire engine and loads of History. Operated by National Park Service volunteers and available for meeting space.
