“The History of the YMCA in Oswego” — 2025 Annual Meeting

Members: Please join the Oswego County Historical Society’s Board of Trustees for our 2025 annual meeting, where we will present our annual report. Following the meeting, Patricia Levine will be presenting “The History of the YMCA in Oswego.”

Patricia Levine is the Communication and Marketing Director and Health and Wellness Director of the YMCA. Levine will talk about the organization’s 170th anniversary being celebrated this year, and describe the mission and programs of the YMCA in Oswego through their long history. The Young Men’s Christian Association was a very new organization in the United States when it was formed here in 1855, and it has occupied many buildings on the west side of Oswego, but only one was built to be a YMCA in 1903. The organization currently occupies another historic building that was the New York State Armory built shortly after.

We look forward to seeing you there!
