Lodging & Travel:
For those traveling from outside the area, please be aware that there are no hotels in Carnegie proper. Even so, there are many hotel options in the immediate area. We suggest looking at available hotels in nearby Green Tree, Bridgeville, Settlers Ridge, Southpointe, and Canonsburg.
The Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall is located at 300 Beechwood Avenue in downtown Carnegie, Pennsylvania. We are just one mile off Interstate 79, and approximately five miles south of downtown Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh International Airport is located 13 miles from Carnegie.
Sponsors:

Our symposium is sponsored by Civil War Trails, the world’s largest open-air museum, with more than 1,500 sites across six states. Civil War Trails puts you in the footsteps of Civil War generals, freedom-fighters, and tenacious women. Follow the great campaigns turn-by-turn, take a historic hike, and explore beautiful downtowns. Snap a sign selfie along the way! Request your brochure today at civilwartrails.org, and create some history of your own.
