The street address of the Wagner-Ritter House & Garden is 418 Broad Street, Johnstown, PA, 15906, but please do not attempt to enter through the house’s front door! The visitor entrance is located in the visitor center, which can be accessed from both the front of the house (Broad Street) or behind it (on Brallier Place).
To approach the house for your visit, turn onto 5th Avenue from Broad Street — the house and the visitor center will be visible to your right, just after you pass Ryan’s Artisan Goods. Two parking spaces are available directly behind the house, on Brallier Place, or you can park along Fifth Avenue.
We also offer special tours of the house at Christmas and Halloween that are ticketed separately from our regular guided tours — when seasonally available, these will be listed in the special events section of this website.
