BBQ Day - Johnstown Historical Society

The 2025 Johnstown BBQ Day was a huge success!

The 2025 Johnstown BBQ Day was held on July 7, 2025.

We offered several opportunities to learn more about the history of Johnstown. We hope to see you there again next year.

Museum Tours

9am – 11am

Location: 701 Charlotte Street

Cost: FREE!

The Historic Parish House and Museum provided tours of the former home of the Harvey and Mary Parish family, as well as our exciting exhibits…including the famous meteorite crash of 1924! The house is only accessible by a flight of stairs, but the Visitor’s Center features a short film of the home’s interior and collections for those who cannot take the stairs.

Horse-Drawn Wagon

Location: Wagon loaded at
intersection of Columbine & Charlotte

Participants hitched rides in a horse-drawn wagon for a tour of Old Town Johnstown to learn more about the historic homes and buildings along Charlotte Street. The wagon began giving tours starting at 11:30am. If a wagon ride wasn’t your thing, you could venture out on your own to do our historical walking tour. More information on that can be found here.
