The YMCA came to Lock Haven and was Incorporated on July 19, 1897. The first YMCA location in Lock Haven was in the building on East Main St. which contained four rooms for meditation, club purposes, and social events. There was also a 2 lane bowling alley, a gym, and locker room. This building was eventually sold with the intention of erecting a new building.

In the 1930’s the State YMCA Association sent district secretaries to build the Hi-Y and Tri-My-Y program in the Lock Haven High School. By the late 30’s YMCA activities were carried on in the Opera House Block on the second floor over Davis Restaurant.

This group flourished so much that the Lions Club started the drive for a new YMCA building.
