Hose Cart

          This 1869 fire hose cart pictured above, has been returned from being refinished. The city of Bucyrus gave the cart to the Society to be restored. The entire cart was cleaned, refinished and re­painted.

         
Silsby Manufacturing in Seneca Falls, New York built this cart along with an 1869 Silsby Ro­tary Steam Fire Engine, which also has been restored. The Steam Fire Engine was restored and returned last year. Both of these items can be seen in the Carriage House at the Bucyrus Historical Society.

          Numerous people were involved in some way or another and need to be thanked. Richard Zahn, Arden Vaughan, Tim Musselman, Charles Buck, Ben Anslow Jr., Lyle Hoffmaster, Len McBride, The Bucyrus Fire Dept. and of course Dr. James Yaussey. Thank you all for a job well done. This is a piece of history that has been brought back for the future
