Holiday and winter hours at all our facilities

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.

JAHA is grateful to the GBU Life Members in Action Program for their support of the campaign to replace the Heritage Discovery Center’s elevator! Tom Leslie (left) stopped by the museum to present checks totaling $5,000 to Richard Burkert, JAHA president and CEO.

The elevator campaign keeps going up — we thank everyone who has donated!
