Tour - USA - Venerable Fire Trucks and Sheep's Milk Cheeses
Columbia County,New York,USA -The New York Times, by LISA W. FODERARO -May 19, 2006: -- Parents often look for ways to introduce their children to the Country — that increasingly elusive land where big, round silos stand watch over flaxen meadows flecked with hay bales. Columbia County, about 100 miles north of New York, offers the right tableau... The Museum of Firefighting is a good first stop; it's in Hudson, which has become an antiques center recently and has several good restaurants for a lunch break later... Endowed by the Firemen's Association of the State of New York, the museum houses 100 pieces of emergency apparatus, from a 1725 hand-drawn pump made in London to a 1974 Cadillac ambulance. There are horse-drawn, steam-powered and motorized fire engines, along with all manner of equipment and ephemera, from ladders, axes and torches to uniforms, banners, lithographs and antique record books...
