The Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society invites you to explore the proud history of Santa Ana’s firefighters on a docent guided tour of the Santa Ana Fire Museum.
View vintage equipment and memorabilia dating back to the late 1800s alongside state of the art contemporary fire trucks and equipment. Hands-off the modern items of course, and don’t be surprised if a call comes in while you are there!
But don’t miss a hands-on experience with the fully restored 1921 Seagrave fire engine and specially designated items along your guided tour.
The Santa Ana Fire Museum is located at 120 W Walnut St.
Ticket prices are: Adults $5, Seniors and Members $4, Students K-12 $3.
Be sure to visit our gift shop to purchase interesting books on local history and firehouse related items.
(Free visitor parking is available in the lot behind the fire station, located at Pine and Sycamore. Additional parking is available at Parral Night Club, located at 104 S. Main St..)
About the Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society
The Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society is an active group of people concerned and interested in preserving and celebrating the history of our local Santa Ana valley community. We preserve and maintain the Dr. Willella Howe-Waffle House and Medical Museum. We record and promote the history of early Santa Ana and its central role in the birth and growth of Orange County. We celebrate local history by creating enjoyable events and publications for residents whether hard-core historians or just curious. We actively support the education of our children to learn about and appreciate their heritage and the community around them.
Thanks to the help of our members and other supporters, we continue this mission to celebrate and promote Santa Ana and early Orange County history. We’ve been doing that for over 35 years starting when Adeline Walker, Betty Biner, and other dedicated residents, much like yourself, took a stand for preservation. Back in 1974 they saved the Dr. Howe-Waffle House from destruction and began the Society.
