Walhalla Fire Station Museum
Volunteers from around Walhalla came together to form a fire brigade in 1871 and established the original fire station in the Long Tunnel Mine yard. The brigade was registered in 1889 following the devastating fire which destroyed some thirty buildings in the heart of town the year before. About a decade later it was decided to provide the brigade with a new fire station centrally located in town. As there was a shortage of suitable land the current site straddling Stringer's Creek was chosen. The included historical image shows the Walhalla Volunteer Fire Brigade at that location shortly after the station became operational. The building has undergone some modifications since and now serves as a museum dedicated to fire fighting in the town.
