This is an antique hand pumped fire engine muster in which crews pump their machines to see who can shoot the longest stream of water.
The machines were built in the 1800s of wood, bronze, brass, and iron. They have been lovingly maintained for generations, and they will all be on display to see and touch.
Spectators are invited to try out pumping the machines!
