District No. 11 Schoolhouse - Peterborough, NH - Former Schools on Waymarking.com

The Peterborough Fire Rescue Association operates the Aquarius No.1 Fire Museum, which is located beside the Peterborough Fire Station. Built in the 1800s, in 1974 the restoration of this small brick building was competed.



This museum houses equipment used in the Town of Peterborough, as well as antique fire engines used in the Town of Peterborough in the 1800s and early 1900s. The museum may be visited whenever the station is manned, Sunday mornings or by appointment.

Included in the museum's display of firefighting memorabilia are a Thayer 1803 hand tub and a hose reel from the late 1800s. The museum's centerpiece is Peterborough's first motorized piece of firefighting apparatus. This truck is believed to be the best-preserved original 1914 American LaFrance in the world!
