The Carnegie Gallery was originally designed as a
Carnegie Library and was built between 1909 and 1911. It became the
home of the Anacortes Museum in 1968, and in 1977 was listed on the
National Register of Historic Places. The first floor, once used as a
social and musical center, now houses the Museum’s offices, research
library, and archives. The second floor contains the exhibit gallery,
with permanent displays on Native Americans and early settlers,
fishing and logging industries, and a special exhibit every two years.
