The Cowan Civic Center opened in 1998, bearing the name of Kenneth Cowan, Lebanon's late mayor who began the dream of such a facility.
The Civic Center has a 46,000 square foot exhibition hall, which is host to such events as ice shows, rodeos, conventions, and trade shows. The hall can seat 5,000 people. A 675-seat theatre is used for everything from theatrical productions to musical concerts to corporate seminars. Both the theatre and exhibition hall feature state-of-the-art acoustics and lighting.
The Cowan Civic Center also has three small meeting rooms, which can be combined with the Grand Foyer for meetings, receptions, and banquets.
The Civic Center is also home of Lebanon Family YMCA.
