Visitors will experience the sights, sounds and smells of a steel town at a time when Johnstown' s mills and coal mines put the city at the forefront of the industrial revolution. Each visitor will assume the identity of a recent immigrant from Eastern Europe and will face the kinds of choices those immigrants faced when they arrived to work at such industrial communities 100 years ago. They will learn about such diverse cultural milestones as a Jewish bar mitzvah, a Ukrainian wedding and an Italian funeral. The heritage association also operates the Johnstown Flood Museum and presents the annual Johnstown FolkFest, a celebration of multi-cultural traditions of southwestern Pennsylvania.
