The New York Museum of Transportation hosts a fleet of antique fire trucks on Sunday, September 20, 2026, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Trolley rides, the full museum, and the fire truck show are all included with the family friendly admission of $12 adults; $10 seniors (65+); $6 youth (3-12). No reservations needed!
The Genesee Chapter of the Society for the Preservation and Appreciation of Antique Motorized Fire Apparatus in America (SPAAMFAA) will have their restored firefighting equipment on display for visitors to enjoy. Resplendent in bright red paint and polished metal work, these vintage vehicles will delight visitors and bring back memories of times past. Discover the difference between a “fire truck” and a “fire engine,” and find out why firemen wear red suspenders!
The New York Museum of Transportation is packed with an extensive collection of trolleys, a steam locomotive, horse-drawn buggies, and highway vehicles. A new photo exhibit on the Rochester Subway is in the gallery. A popular feature is the Midtown Plaza Monorail, and visitors of all ages will thrill to several miniature trains in operation on a super-size model railroad!
The New York Museum of Transportation is located at 6393 East River Road, W. Henrietta, NY, just 20 minutes from downtown Rochester and easily reached from Exit 11 off I-390.
