Description: The formal beginning of the YMCA of the Upper Main Line occurred in May 1962. Initially, a physical fitness program started that fall in temporary facilities, however, in December of 1964 our first permanent facility was located in Berwyn, consisting of a large mansion, carriage house and 54 acres purchased from a religious community of priests, brothers and lay associates of the Norbertine Order who are today based at nearby Daylesford Abbey in Paoli. The property is actually a former 124-acre summer estate owned by J. Gardner Cassatt, the brother of famed painter Mary Cassatt and railroad magnate Alexander Cassatt.
Today the YMCA of the Upper Main Line is a multi-branch association. Four branches located in Berwyn, Great Valley, Eagleview and Lionville provide facilities and activities designed to support youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Our programs and services are open to all faiths, races, genders, abilities, ages and incomes.
