Abstract:
Records of a La Crosse, Wisconsin, men's organization, mainly 1883-1974. The organization is also known locally by the name "Family Y," and its membership is open to men and women. The original purpose of the association was to "promote the mental, moral, social, and physical good of the young men" of La Crosse and its vicinity. Religious education also played a large role. Today's programming is geared toward family activities and physical exercise.

Materials include board minutes, 1883-1954; photographs, 1926-1980; and scrapbooks, 1942-1974. Newsletters and photographs are also included from two YMCA clubs: the Central High School "Hi-Ys", 1959-1966; and the Men's Y-Club, 1938-1954.
