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!

The grand success of the Cambria Iron Company in the late nineteenth century led thousands of immigrants to Johnstown, with many settling in Cambria City and Minersville. As a result, ten ethnic churches were built within the fourteen-acre Ward, with each serving purposes beyond religious faith. Each tour will begin at the Heritage Discovery Center.

*Due to the nature of this tour, we are limiting the number of tickets available to 20 per tour; the tour will be offered August 20, September 24, and October 15 as well.

**Tours will only feature the exterior of these churches, as many are active establishments.
