Reviews
"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."
"Learned a lot here from the volunteer, he shared the history of this fire station."
