The Aquarius No.1 Fire Museum, operated by the Peterborough Fire Rescue Association, is a historic museum located beside the Peterborough Fire Station in Peterborough, New Hampshire. Built in the 1800s and restored in 1974, this small brick building houses a collection of firefighting equipment used in the town, including antique fire engines from the 1800s and early 1900s.
Among the museum's notable exhibits are a Thayer 1803 hand tub and a hose reel from the late 1800s. The centerpiece of the museum is Peterborough's first motorized firefighting apparatus, a well-preserved original 1914 American LaFrance Model 10 Chemical Truck. The museum also offers the opportunity to support its endeavors through the purchase of engraved bricks for a Remembrance Walkway, with all profits going towards the museum's maintenance and preservation efforts.
