The Firefighters Museum & Survive Alive is dedicated to living and fallen heroes who fight fires, save lives, save homes, and protect the buildings of their city. This history of firefighting is appreciated deeply at this museum and many of the tools that people normally see only on the television, or far too quickly as a fire truck passes by in a hurry, are available to view. You can see the hand pumper, horse-drawn hose cart, horse-drawn steam pumper, and many more older and current tools used for putting out fires, transporting said tools, and gear. To get a better understanding of an under-appreciated profession and lifestyle, stop through and learn some fun facts about extraordinary heroes.

St. Joseph Brewery

St. Joseph Brewery is unlike many others because it is actually in the same building that the old St. Joseph’s Church used to be. The owners retained the beautiful architecture and dim lighting of the church before they arrived and turned it into the successful establishment it is now. They serve American cuisine, burgers, steak, seafood, sandwiches and more, all at reasonable prices that do not jeopardize the quality of food.
