Osborne, Kansas

The Osborne Carnegie Library is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1912, the brick structure was funded by a local tax and a grant from the Carnegie Foundation. It was based on the plans for the Carnegie Library in Stockton, Kansas, which in turn was built according to plans for the Carnegie Library in Riverside, Iowa. From 1912 through 1995 it served the community as the Osborne Carnegie Library, and is now a regional genealogical & historical research center operated by the Osborne County Genealogical and Historical Society.
