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!

National ad campaign filmed in Johnstown Train Station

National ad campaign filmed in Johnstown Train Station

Posted: October 11, 2023 11:45 am

The American retailer Anthropologie has filmed a new ad campaign in the Johnstown Train Station! The shoot was completed in September, showcasing the brand’s clothing, accessories, home decor, furniture and more.

How did they find us? Well, the creative director had come up with the concept, and someone on their creative team had a vague memory of studying a movie in film class that featured the train station (we think this had to have been Slap Shot). From there, they found us with a good old fashioned internet search! Studio32, a local photography studio located just down Walnut Street from the station, assisted with the shoot itself.

The train station has long been a popular spot for local photo shoots for weddings, senior photos and more — if this is of interest to you, contact Marisa Lehman, Director of Rentals & Sales, at 814-539-1889, ext. 312.
