Business Description

Nestled in the historic town of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, the Johnstown Flood Museum tells the unforgettable story of one of America's worst natural disasters. The museum is dedicated to bringing visitors an educational and enlightening experience about the great 1889 flood that killed over 2,200 people and destroyed the entire city.

The disaster was caused by a dam failure and became one of the biggest news stories of the 19th century. The Johnstown Flood Museum's exhibits showcase the town's remarkable recovery and the worldwide response to the disaster. Visitors can view artifacts, a fiberoptic map, and an Academy Award-winning documentary about the flood's aftermath, which includes depictions of the flood in popular culture.

The museum is housed in a beautiful, historic library building that's part of the flood story. Andrew Carnegie, one of the club members that owned the dam responsible for the disaster, donated the money to build the library. The Johnstown Flood Museum was renovated in 1989, and it reopened on the 100th anniversary of the disaster, with even more educational exhibits and displays.

The museum is owned and operated by the Johnstown Area Heritage Association (JAHA), which also has the Heritage Discovery Center and Peoples Natural Gas Park. JAHA is currently working to raise funds to once again renovate the museum and add to its exhibits.

Visitors rave about the museum's engaging exhibits and knowledgeable staff. The museum's director of communications is passionate about the flood story and the museum's role in educating visitors. Visitors agree that the Johnstown Flood Museum is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in American history and natural disasters.
