'Turnback Tuesday' highlights history of YMCA in Valley

Turnback Tuesday visits the YMCA this week. The YMCA is a long-standing organization that started in London in 1844. It was to help young men with a refuge to escape the hazards of the street.

The first YMCA to open in the United States was in Boston on December 29, 1851.

The Derby/Shelton YMCA was located at 88 Elizabeth St., Derby, opening in 1889 as the Birmingham YMCA.

By 1891, it was the Birmingham, Derby & Shelton YMCA. Then it was changed to Derby/Shelton YMCA. It stayed at the Elizabeth Street location until 1916.

This souvenir is one of the many items in the Library collection.

Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
