Veterans Memorial Museum

Veterans Memorial Museum The museum is located within the Cambia County War Memorial Arena at 326 Napoleon Street, Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Thank you and enjoy all we have to offer.

The Veteran Museum is a place where you can preserve and honor the memory of a loved one who served proudly and honorably in the armed forces of the United States of America. The museum is dedicated to the women and men of the surrounding area who have served in the United States military. The museum was first commissioned as a Union Cemetery after the Civil War, but after the flooding in 1889 the

cemetery was destroyed and the graves were reinterned at the Grandview and Sandyvale Cemeteries. The arena was built in 1950 and designated as the War Memorial Arena in honor of the returning veterans from World War II. The museum features photo's, patches, personal items, medals, and uniforms from World War I to the Global Wars on Terrorism. There is no entrance cost, but donations are welcomed. The museum is open during most events at the arena. Additionally, we are open for groups by invitation. Requests can be made through the arena's main phone line at 814-565-5156. If you have military items you believe would be appropriate for the museum they can be donation via the arena's main office.

The Memorial Day weekend for most of America beckons in the sunshine and warm weather of summer. Some see it as a time to celebrate family and friends with barbeques and get togethers.

But, there are a few ... Soldiers, Veterans, and their families ... who know the true story of this Day of Remembrance. It is a story of selfless service, courage and sacrifice. Harry S. Truman as President in 1945 said it best ...

"Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices."

May we never forget them!
