The Oakmont Yacht Club holds its place as the oldest inland Yacht Club in the United States.  It is an elegant landmark in the Pittsburgh community, picturesquely situate on the banks of the Allegheny River, 13 miles northeast of downtown Pittsburgh, where the Allegheny River joins the Monongahela to form the Ohio River. It still has the same vitality today as it had when it was founded July 4, 1903, by C.V. Tiers and a group of friends who were devoted to boating and club activities. That same tradition continues today at the OYC.
