The region's newest attraction opened in March of 2001 in the Cambria City National Historic District. The attraction is housed in the former Germania brewery and chronicles the lives of European immigrants at the turn of the century and the roles they played in the development of the nation's Industrial Revolution. The unique interactive permanent display, titled America: Through Immigrant Eyes allows participants to experience everything from the compilation of languages to the heat and smell of a steel-making blast furnace. The Johnstown Area Heritage Association created the attraction and researched the era for more than seven years prior to the museum's development.
