Introducing Johnstown By Dave Hurst
If all you know about Johnstown is its flood, you are
missing out on much of its history – and a lot of fun!
In addition to being the “Flood City,” Johnstown has
been a canal port, a railroad center, a steelmaking
center, and the new home for a colorful assortment
of European immigrants.
In 2015, Johnstown was proudly named the first
“Kraft Hockeyville USA,” recognizing the community as
the most passionate hockey town in the United States.
If you liked the “Rocky” movies, you’ll love Johnstown. This community
was knocked down three times by devastating floods – in 1889, 1936 and
1977. Each time, our residents honored their dead, rolled up their sleeves,
and rebuilt their homes and businesses.
Visit Johnstown today and you can hear the inspirational stories arising
from the Johnstown floods. But, you can also see how we made steel and
mined coal. You can experience our immigrant heritage and arts scene in
the Cambria City Historic District. Or, you can party with us at one of the top10 motorcycle rallies in the nation and other first-rate festivals celebrating
music and ethnicity. You can boat whitewater in the Stonycreek Canyon;
ride our byways; bicycle country lanes, mountain bike single-track and cycle
rail-trails; hike atop our lush ridges; and boat, fish, or swim in lakes once
owned by steel companies. And all of the Johnstown area’s attractions come
beautifully framed by the scenic Allegheny Mountains.
Johnstown is located just 70 miles east of Pittsburgh (an easy drive
on U.S. Route 22, less than a half-hour north of the Somerset Exit of the
Pennsylvania Turnpike, and less than an hour from the Bedford Exit.
So join us in Johnstown–for a visit or a lifetime!

The flood was
the worst natural
disaster of the 19th
century
The flood was the

effort of the
American Red
Cross
century, the steel barons from Pittsburgh enjoyed a
private retreat in the mountains of Cambria County.
Known as the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club, the
members included Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay
Frick. The club boasted a multi-acre lake, boathouses
and cottages. A large clubhouse served as a hotel and
restaurant for members and their guests. Life was easy
along the lake until the rains came that day. The storm
began on Memorial Day and continued through the
night.
On May 31, 1889, rising water in the lake breached
the South Fork Dam, sending twenty million tons of
water roaring through the Conemaugh Valley. The
massive wall of water destroyed everything in its path.
Houses, railroad cars and other debris all became part of
the deadly mix that crashed into Johnstown and literally
swept the town away. When it was all over, 2,209 people
were dead; but from the destruction rose a spirit of
survival and commitment that is still alive in Johnstown.

THE JOHNSTOWN FLOOD STORY
MADE THE BIG SCREEN!
In 2003, Johnstown Flood, narrated by actor Richard
Dreyfuss, was released straight to DVD. Much of the
footage from the Johnstown Flood National Memorial’s
film Black Friday was taken from the 1926 silent film, The
Johnstown Flood, which starred Janet Gaynor and George
O’Brien. The animated short from 1946, Mighty Mouse
and The Johnstown Flood, features our rodent hero using
super-hypnosis to turn back time and
“save the day.” Source: “Johnstown on the Big Screen” by

CONQUERING THE ALLEGHENIES
BY CANAL AND RAILROAD
In the early 19th century, the Allegheny Ridge presented
a nearly insurmountable obstacle rising nearly 1,200 feet
standing in the way of expansion to the west. To conquer
the Ridge — and cross it with roads, canals and rail
— was a challenge that mustered American ingenuity
and established Pennsylvania as an industrial giant. The
Pennsylvania Mainline Canal, completed in 1830, was
the first route connecting Philadelphia with Pittsburgh
and shortened the journey from three weeks by wagon
to four days by railroad and canal. The Pennsylvania
Railroad leaped the mountains with an all-rail route,
sparking the development of the region’s iron, steel and
coal industries. Civil engineering masterpieces such as
the Horseshoe Curve and the Gallitzin Tunnels, as well as
the vast Pennsylvania Railroad locomotive and car shops
in Altoona, established the Ridge area as an early testing
and research laboratory for railroading.

The Allegheny Portage Railroad was
part of the Underground Railroad.
Many of the steel industry’s greatest
advances were forged in Johnstown,
including the three-high rolling mill.
The first successful use of the
pneumatic process in making steel in
the U.S. was made at the Cambria Iron
Works in 1857-1858.
The first steel rails for the railroad
were rolled in Johnstown’s mills.

EXPLORE CAMBRIA CITY…
OUR GROWING CULTURAL DISTRICT
The 10-block community of Cambria City was
established in 1853 just after the steel making giant,
the Cambria Iron Works became established in this
area. A forerunner of Bethlehem Steel Corporation
and United States Steel Corporation, the Iron Works
attracted thousands of immigrants seeking work in
the mills and mines. The area was a true melting pot
of immigrants who found work in Johnstown’s cigar
factories, distilleries, and breweries and established
churches and social clubs while preserving traditions and
cultures. Faith is both alive and lively in Cambria City as
this cultural, colorful neighborhood makes a dramatic
transition! Today, this is Johnstown’s arts and cultural
district. A walking tour of Cambria City can be found at:

LORETTO
Loretto was the first Englishspeaking Catholic settlement in
the U.S. west of the Allegheny Front!
18 • visitjohnstownpa.com
Loretto, formerly the McGuire
Settlement, was named after the Shrine
of the Holy House in Loreto, Italy, by
Father Demetrius Gallitzin, a former
Russian Prince who renounced his royal
upbringing, enrolled in seminary and
became the first priest to receive all
of his seminary studies in the United
States. Gallitzin, known as “The Apostle
of the Alleghenies”, established the
church and pastored the settlement in
Loretto until his death in 1840. He is
buried in an underground crypt with
his heroic-sized statue standing atop
a monument next to the Basilica of St.
Michael the Archangel. He is currently
under consideration for sainthood.
Another famous Loretto resident
was steel magnate, Charles Schwab.
Born into poverty, Schwab was hired
by Carnegie Steel of Pittsburgh when
he was 17 and worked his way up
to company president by the age of
35. Schwab contributed his financial
resources significantly to the people
of the Ebensburg/Loretto community
financing the Carmelite Monastery and
the Basilica of St. Michael the Archangel.
SERVANT OF GOD DEMETRIUS
GALLITZIN’S TOMB
Located adjacent to the Basilica of St. Michael the
Archangel in an underground crypt, Fr. Gallitzin rests

EBENSBURG
Ebensburg traces its roots back to
1797, when the Rev. Reese Lloyd and a
group of eleven families traveled here
from Philadelphia and established a
Welsh colony. In 1804, Ebensburg was
designated the seat of the newly-formed
County of Cambria. During the late 19th
century, Ebensburg grew and prospered
as word of the area’s natural springs
and scenic beauty spread. Many of the
wealthy from New York, Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh constructed summer
“cottages” of fifteen to twenty rooms;
while others enjoyed the services
provided by the Belmont, Lloyd Springs
and Mountain House. These hotels
counted Andrew Carnegie, William H.
Vanderbilt, and Mary Todd Lincoln as
guests. This tradition of hospitality
continues today, and we invite you to
explore all the community has to offer.

Cambria’s County Seat.

Spend some time in Cresson.
Abraham Lincoln did!
CRESSON
Cresson workers helped to fuel the
Industrial Revolution. According to
Sr. Anne Frances Pulling in her book
“Around Cresson and the Alleghenies”,
the town of Cresson was a “hub of
commerce when the Pennsylvania
Railroad established headquarters here
with a roundhouse, machine shops
and branch lines.” Besides railroading,
Cresson industries included lumbering,
coal mining, and coke yards. Laborers
resided in company houses located
within one mile of where high society
had built mansions.
The area’s natural beauty of lush
greens and mountain springs served
as an escape for the Pittsburgh elite.
Several built residences here including
J&L Steel icon, Benjamin Jones, and
U.S. Steel magnate, Andrew Carnegie.
Many affluent guests, including
President Abraham Lincoln, visited the
elaborate Mountain House. Situated on
a hillside amongst several mountain
springs and private cottages, the resort
accommodated 900 affluent guests
who vacationed and made business
decisions here. Today, the town’s
primary industries include education
and health and social services.

map, visit: www.fish.state.pa.us/watertrails
CANOE/KAYAK LAUNCHES
Paddlers can launch their canoes or kayaks at the
following locations on the Stonycreek River: Greenhouse
Park off of Rt. 403 in Tire Hill; near the Hickory St. Bridge
(Johnstown); below the Inclined Plane bridge off Rt. 56 in
downtown Johnstown. Conemaugh River launch is at 6th
Ave. & Power St., Johnstown in the Cambria City section
of Johnstown. Beware of low head dams and other river
hazards. Be sure to obtain a water trail map.
WHITEWATER RELEASES
The Stonycreek not only features great whitewater, but it
can guarantee it! Just upstream of the Stonycreek Canyon
on Quemahoning Creek sits the Quemahoning Dam,
which has a 500 cfs release valve. The valve is opened
on a schedule that is published in advance, assuring
boaters who are traveling some distance that there will
be whitewater to boat. Although the releases typically
occur every other weekend from April into October,
check the updated schedule before you go because the
releases sometimes are canceled if the water level is too
low in Quemahoning Lake. When releases do occur, they
can dramatically improve the boating in the class III-IV
Stonycreek Canyon. For the 2016 release schedule, visit

mind breaking a sweat. You don’t have to be that kind
of rider to enjoy the Trans Allegheny Trails though! Most
sections are typical rail-trail (less than 3% grade) and run
through some of the Alleghenies’ most beautiful scenery.
And these trails have all of the historic character of the
Alleghenies themselves. Come for a day, a weekend or
a week! To decide which trails to ride, build an itinerary,
get directions and find the necessary amenities of bike
shops, food and lodging, visit transalleghenytrails.com.
