Built in 1859, it is the home of the David Crockett
Volunteer Fire Company which was organized in 1841 and today is the oldest continually operating
volunteer fire company in the United States. The Fire Hall is now a two-story museum, exhibiting
on both floors items of historical value to the David Crockett Fire Company, the history of fire
fighting, and a brief view of the history of Gretna and Jefferson Parish.
