History on Tap: Where’s the Fire?

This month, Museum Director Alissa Keller and Christian County Historian William T. Turner join forces to share the history – and future – of the old Central Fire Station. Constructed in 1905, the building burned partially in 1924. The station was quickly rebuilt, and the town clock in its iconic red-and-white tower was added in 1927. The building served as the fire station until 1964. After that, it housed a number of businesses before its renovation and grand opening as the Woody Winfree Fire-Transportation Museum in 2008. The building suffered damage in recent storms.
