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!

Exciting two-part Johnstown Tomahawks promotion coming up!

Exciting two-part Johnstown Tomahawks promotion coming up!

Posted: January 1, 2018 7:00 am

JAHA and the Johnstown Tomahawks are partnering on a special two-part promotion! On Saturday, Jan. 13, it’s Princess and Super Hero Night at the Johnstown Tomahawks game at the 1st Summit Arena at the Cambria County War Memorial. JAHA is selling ticket vouchers for the game (which can be turned in for tickets at the War Memorial), and encourages our princesses and superheroes to wear their costumes for special recognition on the ice during one of the period breaks! JAHA will receive a portion of every ticket we sell — and if we sell 100 tickets to the game, JAHA will get half of the game’s 50/50 proceeds! JAHA will pass out 500 hand clappers at the game, too. Get your tickets today at the Heritage Discovery Center, and help support JAHA!

Then, join us for a Princess and Super Hero Costume Party on Sat., Feb. 3 from 1:00-3:00 pm at the Heritage Discovery Center. It’s $15/person, or $10/JAHA members — reservations and non-refundable pre-payment is required. Call 814-539-1889 by Jan. 26!
