Our first Evening on the Lake presentation of the 2024 season is Tuesday, May 28 at 7:00 p.m. This is part of our special programming for the 135th anniversary of the Johnstown Flood. Guest speaker Tyler Garhart will be guiding participants throughout the Visitor Center to view a variety of objects on display from the flood. This program is free, and no reservations are required.

This program provides a rare opportunity to view and learn about objects relating to the Johnstown Flood that are not typically visible to the public at the memorial. Many items are on loan from various institutions.
