In the Spring of 1889, Johnstown, PA, was a booming coal-and-steel town. In the mountains above, an old earth dam was hastily rebuilt to create a lake for a summer resort. Warnings of possible dangers were ignored and the dam burst, sending a wall of water through the town and killing more than 2,000 people.
This program will take place online on Zoom. After registering, you will receive a link to the Zoom meeting at least one hour in advance of the program. Don't see the email? Make sure you check your spam folder!
