The Impact
Johnstown Historical Society’s New Quarterly Email Newsletter
We’re proud to introduce, The Impact. Whether you’ve called Johnstown home for decades, recently joined our community, or simply continue to hold it close wherever life has taken you, The Impact offers a new convenient way to stay connected to the community and its history, with quarterly updates delivered straight to your inbox.
And yes, the name is a little wink to Johnstown’s famous meteorite. But we also think history makes a pretty big impact of its own.
What’s Inside?
It is our hope that each issue of The Impact will connect our community with the stories of yesterday, the events and discoveries happening today, and the possibilities of tomorrow.
Be among the first to discover upcoming programs, engaging events, new exhibits, fascinating local history discoveries, behind-the-scenes stories, and meaningful opportunities to get involved. You might even learn something new, impress your friends, and gain an edge in your next trivia game!

More Than A Newsletter
The stories of our past deserve more than a place on a shelf or within the walls of a museum. They should be shared, remembered, and carried forward so they may live on in our conversations, shape our understanding of who we are, and anchor the collective memory of a community that values where it has been.
However you’re connected to Johnstown, you’re part of a story that continues to unfold. The Impact is one way we can keep that story alive and help write its next chapter together.
We Respect Your Inbox.
We want every issue of The Impact to be worth your time. That’s why we’ll keep each issue thoughtful, informative, and focused on the content that matters to our community.
We’ll send the newsletter quarterly, along with occasional updates and important announcements from the Johnstown Historical Society. And if you ever decide The Impact isn’t for you, simply click Unsubscribe at the bottom of any newsletter email from us, and you’ll be removed from our list.
Join us as we discover, remember, and share Johnstown’s story.
