This is by far one of the most beautiful things in all of Johnstown. Which begs to differ, how can…read moresomething so beautiful have such a deadly past? The Stone Bridge has been in Johnstown since 1887-1888, built to span the Conemaugh River so that the railway could make its way to and through Johnstown. It is a thing of beauty. Johnstown, much like Pittsburgh, is laid out with two river converging to form a third. A steep hill to the one side of Johnstown with their own inclined plane. At the meeting place of the two to form the third is a park named Point Park as well, possibly the best vantage point to view this bridge. Another good spot is Festival Park which lies across the Little Conemaugh River. I'm sure some of you may have heard about the Great Johnstown Flood of 1889. This bridge withstood that massive wall of water that pounded the city. Good, right? What it also withstood was all the houses, farms, trees, vehicles, debris, and people pushing against the bridge along with all that water. What wasn't great was what happened after that, in an attempt to remove that mass of items ended up starting a massive fire. Altogether combining for the deadly past part. Along with the 1889 flood, this also withstood many more floods as well, notably are the 1936 and 1977 floods that devastated the area as well. Enough with dwelling on the past. What they have done to it now can be summed up with the following. Michael Brosig, co-chair of the Stone Bridge Committee, said, "The significance of the Stone Bridge is that it stood its ground against the flood waters and altered the future of Johnstown completely and forever. It created the backdrop for the event that put Johnstown on the map. Restoring the South facade of that structure and casting LED lighting on it will certainly showcase the triumph of the human spirit in a spectacular style for all to see, enjoy and be proud of their heritage." And a triumph it is. The lighting on the bridge changes often, they have a calendar of what event they will be lighting for in case you plan on stopping by to view it. Each setting of display is beautiful. Such a great asset for the city of Johnstown to have.

This is a great, newly remodeled library! There is something…read moregoing on all the time for people of all ages at this library. There are programs for young kids, tweens, teens and adults. Some for all ages as well. The have a great multipurpose room for the programs, but also do some of them right in the library. The Children's room is on the smaller side, but they have a lot to offer. In addition to computers, they have a variety of toys like blocks, legos, dolls etc. They also often have a little scavenger hunt to find a certain character or item. Such a fun idea because it gets kids looking through the shelves and might help them find a new treasure. They have a great selection of books, audio books, DVDs and other media. You can also check out admission for places like the History Center and West Overton Village which is a neat perk. Friendly, accommodating staff and an overall wonderful place to spend some quiet time.

They also have a wide variety of programming for people of all ages. I enjoy that they have a community garden and encourage learning about and participating with it. They generally have some puzzles out for adults (or really any age) that want to participate in the communal effort. They have many computers available for use. One of the more unique features are the kits that they have available for kids. They are bags that have a variety of books and activities for kids to participate with to immerse themselves in a particular subject. Their summer reading program has TONS of programming with events during the day and evenings and weekends as well. Free and convenient parking. Librarians are cheerful and eager to help. A great place to find a new favorite book or author!

The children's room is packed with a wide variety of everything from board books to graphic novels and even Nintendo Switch games! They have some toys available for free play along with some STEM related activities. It is bright and cheery and a great place to spend time with your kids.
