Welcome, and bring your houseguests!

The Heritage Discovery Center/Johnstown Children’s Museum and Johnstown Flood Museum begin a winter operating schedule as of Dec. 1: open Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 10:00 am-5:00 pm, Sunday noon-5:00 pm; and closed Tuesday and Wednesday. (Dec. 24-25 and Dec. 31-Jan. 1 fall on Tuesday-Wednesday; therefore, there are no extra closing days due to Christmas or New Year.) Special events calendar is here.

Peoples Natural Gas Park, which is the site for Discover Downtown Johnstown Partnership’s Christmas Tree and Village this year, is open noon-11:00 pm. Lighting time for the tree and the Stone Bridge is 5:00-11:00 pm, and the installation will be up through January 8, 2026. More tree-related schedule info is here.

Group Tour Information

Our museums appeal to groups of all ages – seniors, students and everyone in between! We can arrange a tour with a special admission rate for any group of 10 or more — but tours at least a week in advance, unless special arrangements have been made with the Tour Department. To plan your visit, call 814-539-1889, email tours [@] heritagejohnstown.org, or contact us using this form:

    Tour Rates

    Group rates for just one site are available, but combination rates for the Johnstown Flood Museum, Heritage Discovery Center and all its features are an even better value – so plan to visit all both sites! The museums, which are located a half-mile apart, make for a wonderful day of sightseeing.
