  • Description
  • The Oakmont Boat Club was founded on July 4, 1903, which makes it the oldest inland yacht club in the country. The Boat Club was visited by many illustrious figures, including Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s. C.V. Tiers, the founder of the club, gathered together a number of his friends to begin the club. The first fleet consisted largely of rowboats. Canoes and sailboats were added a bit later. The introduction of motorboats began in 1916. The present day clubhouse of the Oakmont Yacht Club appears here with the Allegheny River in the background. This images shows the front and parking lot of the current clubhouse.
