Engine House &
Museum Rental
Due to the historic nature of the building and the fragility of its artifacts and memorabilia, Engine House 25 and The Clemente Museum no longer host wedding ceremonies or receptions.
welcome
Engine House 25 is an immaculately restored firehouse built in 1896. The facility houses the Roberto Clemente Museum, Engine House 25 Winery and the photo studio for Rieder Photography. It is a unique venue with the perfect combination of artistry and local history.
