Firehouse Museum
If you happen to be roaming around downtown and Little Italy during the few hours this museum is open, stop by the see San Diego's first fire engine—a horse-drawn steamer—and other antique firefighting equipment. You've got hydrants, helmets, axes, uniforms, and a 9/11memorial inside a former working fire station. As in working firehouses, everything is polished to perfection, and volunteer firefighters are usually around to answer questions. Kids can climb aboard one of the trucks.
