The Agawam Historical & Fire House Museum is located in the former Elm Street Fire Station, in the heart of the Agawam Center National Register Historic District. The museum first opened in 2002 and is operated by the Agawam Historical Association.The first floor of the museum houses the association’s collection of Agawam Fire Department and firefighting memorabilia, including a fire truck owned by the town since it was purchased new in 1930. The apparatus bay was named in honor of former APD chief and AHA board member Rusty Jenks, who was instrumental in establishing the museum in the former Elm Street Station.
The second floor Marilyn P. Curry History Room houses the association’s archives and collection of historic documents and artifacts and features a pair of 1855 wall maps issued before and after the incorporation of the town, exhibits on Agawam Gin, the Agawam woolen mill, and aviation in Agawam.
The historical association’s new Images of American title, Around Agawam and Feeding Hills will be available for purchase and author David Cecchi will be on hand to sign copies. The book features more than 200 historic photos depicting Agawam and Feeding Hills’ rich history. Proceeds from the sales of the book will benefit the Agawam Historical Association.
