Join us for the 7th Annual Waterford Heritage Day celebrating Waterford's
rich heritage in fire protection and featuring the Button Fire Engine.
We have joined together with the Annual Concert Under the Stars to produce an
exciting two day event that you will never forget! We are thrilled to also
be hosting the New England States Veteran Firemen's League for a muster competition on August 8th. Antique fire engines from around the Northeast will be on parade, competing and on display. Come watch as Button engines take on engines of other makes on their home turf for the 2nd time in well over 100 years!
