The Roseville Historical Society

In the early 1980s, the old Carnegie Library building was potentially slated for a very different purpose, and there was rumored discussion that the land the building stood upon was to be turned into a parking lot. But during a meeting where the building's fate was to be decided, a relative of the pioneer McRae family spoke to the group. She recalled that the McRae family had indeed donated the land with a caveat; the land, with the Carnegie library built on it, was to be used as a library forever.

The original deed was verified, and the old building was saved. But it needed restoration and a purpose. So the good citizens of Roseville banded together and formed "The Roseville Historical Society" to preserve and protect the history of Roseville. Together with the city, funds were raised for restoration, and the venerable old building was once again a library but with the new focus of educating people about the history of Roseville. In effect, it became the "Carnegie Library Museum."
