About The Vincennes Y | YMCA of Vincennes

Who We Are

putting Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.

Together we create a strong Knox County

For over 100 years, the YMCA of Vincennes has responded to the needs and challenges of our community. In 1912, Major Gould and the community laid the cornerstone of the first YMCA in Vincennes at the corner of 4th and Broadway. The original cornerstone now resides at the front door of the Y facility at 2010 College Avenue. The present building was constructed in 1974 and has been expanded twice since that date. The YMCA Bettye J. McCormick Senior Center was constructed in 1999.
