Due to an interior water leak on 1/23/25 caused by the recent extreme cold, the Johnstown Flood Museum ONLY is temporarily closed. Thankfully, nothing of historic significance was affected. As of 2/4, the water remediation team has concluded their work, and we are moving on to repainting, floor refinishing, and replacement of carpet and soundproofing materials. We fully expect to reopen by early spring. In the meantime, we apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to remediate and repair our beloved flagship museum.

The Heritage Discovery Center/Johnstown Children’s Museum is unaffected and operating normal business hours. Welcome!

JAHA has received several inquiries about signing up for classes with the Center for Metal Arts, the entity that’s just moved here from New York State and plans to operate out of the Blacksmith Shop. They have now moved to Johnstown, and are now offering classes in the Pattern Shop, the historic building right next to the Blacksmith Shop. (Re-opening the Blacksmith Shop will require some work).
