Welcome !
Thanks for visiting the Agawam Historical Sites and Images web page.
Agawam is a town rich in history - from its founding in 1636, to its incorporation in 1855, to having the first Zip Code in the United States. Browse through our web site and discover things from French and Indian War veterans graves to the largest amusement park in New England.
The Fire House Museum
Built as a Fire Station in 1918, this building was converted to a Museum by Association members and volunteer firemen after the Town built a new station nearby.
The first floor contains antique fire engines and apparatus and the second floor (with elevator access) is a display area for the Association's exhibits and presentation area for the slide shows.
