Johnstown Flood National Memorial - Park in South Fork - 733 Lake Rd, USA

We stopped about half hour before closing to kill some time before a basketball tournament. Pleasantly surprised by this jewel of a museum. Very informative about the flood that wiped out and killed so many people. Local history is very interesting. A great place to visit. Friendly staff. No admission fee.

I've never traveled this section of 219 before, and I had a gap of time between appointments today. I saw a sign and decided to follow it. The visitor center and gift shop were great. The scenery was great, and I was happy I could drive down to the lookout point. The volunteers inside were so nice.

This place is an absolute must if you ever wondered about the flood. Once you get your bearings and realize where to look for the original dam - it will make you feel transformed back to the day.

This is a great memorial for the victims of the flood. Make sure you plan to go on a day it's not raining. Makes for a better time exploring outside.

Park rangers are very knowledgeable. There are beautiful walking trails and an exhibit with a short movie about the flood.

It was an amazing experience to visit the area were the dam bursted the visitor center/museum was amazing! The park rangers were very friendly and knowledgeable on the history of the flood .

This museum has been informational to me since a field trip there when I was young until now when I take my own kids here. The tragedy was horrible and there is the realistic dark side to it (like most disasters) but I feel that you could still share this with young kids and only get into as much detail as the parents wanted to. Maybe skip the movie....it can be a little intense, however is well done and key for the adults to experience. The grounds are unique to be able to actually still see the remains of the dam and really visualize where the water laid. Recently as well this park allowed me to fly my kite here (with permission that should be attained by anyone looking to do so) which is a unique experience at the top of the hill. Its a beautiful view and a somber place to reflect on the 1889 events as well as your own thoughts of the day.

Well organised visuals, Good film. Lovely bright clean center. The ranger was very helpful and enthusiastic with additional info.
