This Evening on the Lake program is Tuesday, July 29 at 7:00 p.m. in the Club House. Documents discovered from the collection of John Kephart, at the Cambria County Historical Society, led society members and park staff to determine the original owners of all sixteen cottages. These cottages were owned by members of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club and sat along Lake Conemaugh. Participants will learn about the cottages and their respective owners. This program is presented by Park Ranger Doug Bosley.

The Club House building is located at 186 Main Street in St. Michael. The program is free, and no reservations are required. The Evening on the Lake series is sponsored by the Friends of Johnstown Flood National Memorial.
