The story
The Wagner-Ritter House & Garden, is a historic house museum and garden located in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, occupied for 130 years by three generations of a steel worker's family from the 1860s to the 1990s. This historic house museum illustrates the domestic lives of this immigrant family, interpreting the home lives of the thousands who toiled in the shadow of the Cambria Iron Company. The Wagner-Ritter House is one of about a dozen remaining structures in the working-class neighborhood of Cambria City that survived the Johnstown Flood. The Wagner-Ritter House & Garden is restored and operated by Heritage Johnstown.
