Johnstown preserves a broad span of colonial, Revolutionary, and later history through sites tied especially to Sir William Johnson, whose Johnson Hall, monument, park grave, Masonic lodge, church patronage, and Fort Johnstown reflect his central role in the community's early development. The city includes the 1781 battlefield where American forces under Colonel Willett fought British forces under Major Ross and Captain Butler in what is identified as the last battle of the Revolutionary War, six days after Cornwallis surrendered to George Washington at Yorktown, as well as the Fulton County Courthouse, begun in the colonial era and still in use, the Drumm House, James Burke's Inn, Union Hall, and a colonial cemetery containing many notable burials. Johnstown's later history is represented by places connected to Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, the Daughters of the American Revolution, the First Presbyterian Church, the Knox Mansion and Knox Field linked to Rose Knox, the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, City Hall, the Colonial Little Theatre, the public library, and other historic homes, museums, memorials, and civic buildings spanning roughly three hundred years of local history.
