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!

Rotary Club of Johnstown donates two AEDs to Heritage Johnstown

Posted: April 28, 2025 3:04 pm

Heritage Johnstown is the grateful recipient of two AED devices, donated by the Rotary Club of Johnstown! An AED, or automated external defibrillator, is a sophisticated yet easy-to-use device that can treat a person in sudden cardiac arrest, drastically improving their chances of survival.

The club served as our guest bartenders at Last Friday at the Ethnic Social Club on April 25, and made the presentation before Strings & Bellows began to play. Above Deb Winterscheidt, Heritage Johnstown director of development, stands with Dan Solomon, chair of our board of directors (who was on his way to a much fancier event — hence the tuxedo!), Craig Saylor, Rotary club president (Craig also leads the Train Station Capture Team for Vision 2025), and Jennifer Aurandt, past Rotary club president.

The club plans to raise money to purchase two additional AEDs for Heritage Johnstown so that all our locations are covered. Thank you to the Rotary Club of Johnstown!
