I'll second this recommendation.  While you're in Johnstown, drive
out to the location of the dam that broke and caused the flood;  it's
a National Park Service site, and there's a whole other museum and
film to see there.

The neighborhood at the top of the incline is nice to walk around as
well.  They are quite proud of their mile-long line of elm trees
that have been carefully protected against Dutch elm disease.

Agreed--but it's "Fallingwater", not "Falling Waters".
