Heritage Discovery Center

The center includes three attractions -- your ticket lets you see them all!  “America: Through Immigrant Eyes" on our first floor lets you experience what it was like to be an 1900s immigrant to Johnstown -- it's a national story told in a local context! You'll choose one of nine immigrant identities to follow through the exhibit.

The Johnstown Children’s Museum is on the building's third floor, and allows kids to learn through hands-on play! A water room, a dress-up area, a "mix-master" sound studio, and working Incline with a coal mine and slide are among the many attractions here. 

The Iron & Steel Gallery is a spectacular three-story space with exhibits and artifacts about the history of steel in Johnstown area, as well as a film that explains the technological innovations made in Johnstown -- and closes with spectacular footage of the steel mills shot just days before they closed down forever in 1992.
