Johnstown Flood Museum temporarily closed

Due to an interior water leak caused by the recent extreme weather, the Johnstown Flood Museum ONLY is temporarily closed. The Heritage Discovery Center/Johnstown Children’s Museum will be operating normally! We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to remediate the problem.

We maintain extensive collections about Johnstown's history.

Heritage Johnstown’s archives and museum collections include a wide range of materials relating to the history of the Greater Johnstown area. Perhaps best-known for our archives of photographs and documents relating to the 1889, 1936, and 1977 Floods, we also have collections on a variety of topics, including industrial history and ethnic heritage. We also maintain a collection of artifacts relating to Johnstown’s history.

Please visit this page if you have an item you wish to donate to our archives and collections.
