Saturday, May 18 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Carnegie is located approximately seven miles west of Pittsburgh and ten miles east of the Pittsburgh International Airport. Now considered a suburb of Pittsburgh, the Allegheny County borough often makes news headlines because of the special events at the recently restored Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall and the impressive selection of restaurants and shops along Main Street. Historically, though, from 1890 to 1960, Carnegie was a commercial center for the surrounding farming villages and coal-mining camp towns such as Moon Run, Imperial, Oakdale, Kirwan Heights, Sygan, Cecil, and Muse.
