The Uppertown Firefighters Museum is a small, hands-on piece of Astoria's working history. Housed in a former fire station, it preserves engines, equipment, and local stories from a city where timber buildings, riverfront industry, and steep streets made fire protection a serious civic matter.
It is a short stop, best paired with the larger Columbia River Maritime Museum or the Oregon Film Museum. Families and anyone interested in old machinery will get the most from it.
