Leadership

At the heart of the Johnstown Historical Society is a dedicated team of individuals. They share a deep passion for protecting the cultural heritage of Johnstown and passing it on to future generations. Much like the town’s original leaders, our leadership team works closely with volunteers, local organizations, educators, and community members. Together, we create meaningful programs, maintain historical archives, and advocate for the preservation of important sites, stories, and artifacts.

Through strategic planning, responsible governance, and thoughtful community engagement, our leaders demonstrate their commitment to our Mission and Vision. They work to ensure that the legacy of the Johnstown Historical Society continues to grow, evolve, and inspire future generations.
