Come in and see us!
The Hinckley Fire Museum welcomes you. Please allow one to two hours to see all of our exhibits and the 20-minute film that tells the story of the fire. Please call ahead to advise us of any special needs, and we will do everything we can to accommodate your visit.
We are open Thursdays-Sundays from May 23, 2024, to October 20, 2024.
👉 We will be closed on July 4, 2024. 👈
Hours are 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. -
Please plan to spend enough time inside to enjoy our short film explaining the conditions that led to the fire and to walk through our many exhibits. Because the museum closes each day at 5:00 p.m., we ask that you arrive no later than 4:15 p.m. We have a great story to tell, and it takes a little time!
Open Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays
