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!

JAHA invites area businesses to participate in Giving Tuesday: Jeans for JAHA

Posted: November 6, 2017 2:17 pm

Once again this year, JAHA invites area businesses to take part in Community Denim Day, our #GivingTuesday event!

Celebrated on the first Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving to non-profits such as JAHA.

JAHA will provide materials to support any local company’s participation in the Jeans for JAHA! program including posters; “save the date” graphics for print, email and social media; a sample (easily tailored) email to send to all employees asking them to participate; sign-up sheets; and, stickers to identify employees who donated $5 or more in exchange for the opportunity to wear jeans on November 28. Fundraising incentives are available!
