DEPOSIT HISTORICAL MUSEUM

DEPOSIT, NY

The Deposit Historical Museum is a small museum located in the town of Deposit, NY. It is housed in the historic Deposit Firehouse building, which was built in 1912 and served as the town's fire station for many years. The museum's collection includes artifacts and exhibits related to the history of Deposit and the surrounding area, with a focus on the town's early days as a logging and farming community.

Visitors to the museum can see displays of antique farm tools, logging equipment, and household items from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. There are also exhibits on the town's early businesses, schools, and churches, as well as displays on local sports teams and military veterans.

One of the highlights of the museum is a restored 1929 Ahrens-Fox fire engine, which was used by the Deposit Fire Department until the 1950s. The engine is on display in the original fire bay of the building, along with other firefighting equipment and memorabilia.

The museum is staffed by volunteers and is open to the public on weekends from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Admission is free, but donations are accepted to help support the museum's operations and collections.
