Wheaton Youth Center

The Wheaton Youth Center features modern architecture with concrete blocks, steel, wood, and glass materials at an elevation of 137 meters.

The Montgomery County Department of Recreation opened this center in December 1963 as a social gathering space for local youth activities.

During the 1960s and 1970s, the gymnasium hosted performances by numerous musicians including Bob Seger, Rod Stewart, and Alice Cooper.

The center provides spaces for art classes, fitness activities, dance lessons, and music courses through its various dedicated rooms and facilities.

Local legend suggests Led Zeppelin performed one of their first North American concerts at this venue in January 1969 for about 50 people.
