Racine has an absolutely beautiful Library in a world class setting, overlooking General Pershing Park and Lake Michigan. I believe it was built around 1960, with an addition in the 1990's, replaced an outdated, but beautiful Library Building that was built in 1903-1904 with an endowment from the Andrew Carnegie Foundation.
Outstanding programs for everyone from pre-schoolers to Senior citizens are offered on a regular basis. Program schedules are available at www.cityofracine.org.
The old Library is located one block west of the current library and houses the Racine Historical Society.
Wonderful exhibits about Racine's World Class Companies such as Horlick's Malted Milk Co., S.C. Johnson & Son, Mitchell Wagon & Motor Car Co., Jacobsen Manufacturing, In-Sink-Erator, Modine, and many others are featured.
These buildings are located on the southside of Racine's Historic Downtown, with several Frank Lloyd Wright originals within walking distance.
