Canton Fire Departments

We are getting ready to make some improvements to the Fire Station exhibit in the Street of Shops. 

The first step was to remove all of the photographs on the right side of the exhibit so I could unframe and scan them.  There were too many little things on that wall, with little or no captions.  The new display will be a larger panel with more information included.

Next we plan to make a new case on the left side of the exhibit, as well as hang two large paintings depicting fire history in Canton.

The following are nine photos of various Canton Fire Departments from around 1900 that were part of the old display and will be incorporated into the new one:
