General Description

The Great Johnstown Flood of 1889: there was no larger news story in the latter nineteenth century, after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The story of the Johnstown Flood has everything to interest the modern mind: a wealthy resort, an intense storm, an unfortunate failure of a dam, the destruction of a working class city and an inspiring relief effort.

The Johnstown Flood National Memorial has many cultural resources within its boundary. The historic clubhouse of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club and a few remaining cottages line Main Street in St Michael, PA. The remnants of the South Fork Dam and the restored Unger House all are important in the story of the Great Johnstown Flood of 1889. The park has a visitor center, exhibits, and a wonderful film entitled �Black Friday�.
