Historic stone fire department museum with red doors in Ephraim, Wisconsin. — The Ephraim Fire Department Museum occupies a stone firehouse built to house the village's volunteer fire company, a fixture of this Door County community on the Green Bay shoreline.

The museum now displays vintage firefighting equipment tied to the village's history, including antique hose carts and early motorized trucks. Ephraim itself was founded in 1853 by Moravian settlers, and the fire company grew alongside the town as it developed into a summer destination.
