This sculpture was actually created by a group of local steelworks, led by Charles Zilch, in imitation of the James Wolfe sculptures commissioned for the 100th anniversary of the 1889 Johnstown Flood. This is the only true parking lot micro of the series. The Point of Interest and the overall Discovery Center are ADA accessible. The cache container itself may require assistance.
Do not climb on any of the sculptures featured in this cache series.
If you are enjoying the local history, this cache is located at the Heritage Discovery Center, check here for hours and admission fees - www.jaha.org/DiscoveryCenter.

This cache may be temporarily disabled and removed during Thunder in the Valley and Flood City Music Festival due to the high concentration of muggles during that period.
Our JAHA series features six cultural and historical sites in Johnstown and has been placed to demonstrate that micros can be an appropriate container size in some urban settings without being pointless lamppost or guardrail caches. If you enjoy this cache series, try our full size caches.
We consider all micros to be difficult, so we’ve rated each of them as we would see them. Other cachers may find them to be much easier. Please replace exactly as found. Do not drop. Some caches in the series will require more stealth than others. Bring your own pen.
Cache clings tightly to host. Pry it away from the connecting surface if you have trouble retrieving it.
If you spend more time looking for the container than you’ve spent enjoying the setting, you’ve missed the point of this cache.
Any log containing spoilers of location/container will be deleted. Hints are available after a posted DNF if you have already found Big Wolfe and Rolling Mill.
This cache placed with the assistance and permission of Johnstown Area Heritage Association (JAHA).
