Carnegie Library
centennial event: Andrew Carnegie Live!
Carnegie libraries have many architectural features in common, such
as a large staircase and grand entry to symbolize how acquisition of
knowledge and culture elevates a person. The lamp posts symbolize
the enlightenment that knowledge provides and the use of brick or
stone indicates that knowledge is strength. It also showed the
intent of the library’s role as a lasting pillar of the community.
The Clark County Historical Museum is located at 1511 Main Street in
Vancouver, WA.
The Clark County Historical Museum
will be presenting Andrew Carnegie
Live! (George Dauler
plays Carnegie) during the week of October 6-10, with a series of
ten performances that are free and open to the public. In an effort
to celebrate the museum’s double anniversary year of the building,
which is 100 years old, and the museum’s being 45 years old, and to
make museum programs accessible to a broad audience, the Clark
County Historical Museum has partnered with four branches of the
Fort Vancouver Regional Library System, the Camas Public Library,
and the Washington State University History Department to provide
performance venues in eight different locations.
The performance schedule is as follows: 10 a.m. Tuesday, Oct.
6, at Clark County Historical Museum, 1511 Main Street, Vancouver,
and at 7 p.m. in the La Center Community Library at La Center
Community Center, 1000 E. 4th Street; 10 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 7, in
the Woodland Community Library, 770 Park Street, at noon at the

or in re-enacting historical characters.
