Waukegan History Museum (The Carnegie)

Built in 1903 as one of Andrew Carnegie’s public libraries, this landmark building on Sheridan Road now serves as the Waukegan History Museum. Rotating exhibits trace Waukegan’s story from its earliest settlers through its industrial era, including materials connected to native son Ray Bradbury. The museum also houses the Waukegan Historical Society’s research archive, available to visitors researching local history and genealogy.
