Leather Bucket Alley

In the late 1800's before fire engines there was a shed in that area that housed leather buckets and ladders in the event of a fire. The bell would ring and the whole community responded, men, women and children. Twice downtown Saline lost several buildings which finally led to the purchase of the first fire engine, around 1882.
