Carnegie, Pennsylvania
-
Carnegie was originally two towns, Chartiers and Mansfield, divided by the Chartiers Creek. The townspeople promised Andrew Carnegie that if he donated a library they would merge and name the town after him. Carnegie was incorporated in 1894 and has seen many changes through the years. In the 1940s, Carnegie was a busy town, as can be seen by the miniature town model done by Walter Brosky at the Historical Society. In the 1970s, revitalization efforts meant closing streets and making walking “malls” which created more economic issues. Carnegie has survived a 2004 flood and later, a fire, and is now experiencing a resurgence of energy in its downtown and surrounding areas.

What truly makes Carnegie special is the people. Carnegie has almost every ethnic and religious background which is reflected not only in the worship sites, but in the eclectic array of restaurants, shops and and other businesses. A great example is Carnegie’s beautiful domed Ukrainian and Russian Orthodox churches giving our town a distinctive skyline.

Live theater, dance , art and clay galleries, and plenty of music. From live entertainment at local restaurants to musical theater and jazz. Plenty for the outdoors-minded too. Head to Carnegie Park for our state-of-the-art skate park. The elegant Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall overlooking our historic downtown is an integral part of the local community.
