The Carnegie has a rich history that begins in 1903, when it was first established as a safe place for the people of Elwood, Indiana to gather and learn. Today, the building continues to serve as a gathering place, but now for some of life's most joyous occasions. In 2021, the property was purchased with the goal of preserving its history and reviving the space for modern use.

The Carnegie is now accepting bookings!
