We’re still amazed by the turnout last week.

More than 150 people stood with us for our 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony, followed by more than 40 visitors at Saturday’s Open House.

Nearly 200 people came to remember, explore, ask questions, share stories, and connect with the history inside Station No. 3.

For a small museum run by volunteers, that means more than we can say.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to the City of Fort Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale Professional Firefighters Local 765, and The Chimney House for continuing to support what we do.

This is why we preserve the history. This is why we open the doors. And this is why we keep telling these stories. ❤️
