VIDEO: The arrival of the USS Orleck was not the only big move happening in the city on Saturday. The Jacksonville Fire Museum is setting up shop in its new (old) home along Bay Street.
The museum rolled down Bay Street with the help of a large dolly, joining the Shipyards for a coming âMuseum District,â serving as a neighbor to the newly arrived USS Orleck and the coming Museum of Science and History.
As part of the move, Bay Street will be closed from A. Philip Randolph Boulevard to Liberty Street from 6 p.m. Friday through 6 a.m. Monday.
The museum originally opened on the same part of Catherine Street near the Jacksonville Sheriffâs Office headquarters in the late 1970s before moving to Kids Kampus in the early â90s.
