The Community Hall/Opera House in Johnstown

The Village of Johnstown is part of a four thousand acre tract of land deeded to John Brown by President Adams for his services in the American Revolution. Brown sold the property in 1810 for $2.50 per acre to Dr. Oliver Bigelow. Dr. Bigelow laid out and incorporated the village of Johnstown, donating the streets, alleys and the town square. In 1926 a nearly complete skeleton of a mastodon was found by a farmer named James Bailey, and subsequently sold to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
