Due to an interior water leak on 1/23/25 caused by extreme cold, the Johnstown Flood Museum ONLY is temporarily closed. Thankfully, nothing of historic significance was affected. The water remediation team concluded their work, which leaves repainting, floor refinishing, and replacement of carpet and soundproofing materials. We are currently waiting for insurance adjustors and approval of quotes, a process we cannot control. In the meantime, we apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to remediate and repair our beloved flagship museum.

In the meantime, we are pleased to present Relic Tales of the Johnstown Floods at the Heritage Discovery Center, which is unaffected and operating normal business hours. This new temporary exhibition includes more than 200 artifacts and photographs, many of which have never been on display before, from the Johnstown flood of 1889 (as well as 1936 and 1977).  Welcome!

Our 2018 Annual Fund drive is kicking off!

Our 2018 Annual Fund drive has kicked off! We’ve mailed appeals to area businesses, and letters to individual supporters and friends are going out this week (as seen in the photo above!). As the letter explains, Johnstown is in the process of reinventing itself, and JAHA is playing a key role in that transformation by making full use of our shared heritage and history through projects such as the recent rehabilitation of the Johnstown train station. You can read more about JAHA’s history and accomplishments here.

Our goal for the 2018 Annual Fund is $120,000. Your support makes what we do possible! Please consider supporting JAHA with a generous gift, which will benefit Johnstown today and long into the future.

If you’ve not received your annual appeal letter, you can download this letter and form — or, simply donate online.
