At the heart of the Johnstown Historical Society is a dedicated team of individuals who share a deep passion for ensuring the cultural heritage of Johnstown is protected and shared with future generations. Just like the original town leaders, our leadership team works hand-in-hand with volunteers, local organizations, educators, and community members to create meaningful programs, maintain historical archives, and advocate for the preservation of significant sites, stories, and artifacts.
Through strategic planning, responsible governance, and thoughtful community engagement, our leaders show their commitment to stewarding our Mission and Vision and ensuring the legacy of the Johnstown Historical Society continues to grow, evolve, and inspire for generations to come.
