Engine No. 1 was built in 1870 by a company out of New Hampshire. It was originally the property of Charleston Fire Department, but was sold to Greenwood in 1907.
For many years, the “steamer” has been displayed in the basement of The Museum.
However, with major remodeling going on at that facility, curator Matt Edwards said it was time to let it go.
