Title

Outside View of YMCA, circa 1900; Mahaska County; Oskaloosa; Iowa

Description

The Young Men's Christian Association has played a pivotal role in the history of Mahaska County. Located in Oskaloosa, this YMCA has served as a place for growth spiritually and athletically for over a hundred years. This photograph was taken of the YMCA from outside around the year 1900, and captures the essence of the community at the time. On the left, the transportation of the time is revealed with the horse and buggy. Small shops align the left side of the building, illuminating Oskaloosa's piece of Americana via small business.
