From the 1860s to the 1990s, the Wagner-Ritter House and Garden was occupied by three generations of a steelworking family. The Johnstown Area Heritage Association (JAHA) has opened the house and garden to the public, interpreting the home lives of the thousands who toiled in "the shadow of the mills."
