Elks lay cornerstone for lodge (1915)

January 24, 2021, All Day

The cornerstone of the Elks' Lodge at 6th and Q was laid on this date in 1919, on a lot purchased in 1912 for $3,000. The building formally opened with a grand celebration on June 10. The Anacortes American gushed: “New Edifice of Anacortes Elks is Temple of Beauty.” Today we know the building as our City Hall.

Anacortes Museum opens (1959)

January 25, 2021, All Day @ Anacortes Carnegie Museum

Today marks the opening of our very own organization the Anacortes Museum. Though the museum's origins lie in the City Hall building, today it inhabits our old Carnegie building on the southeast corner of 8th and M. Part of the Andrew Carnegie library construction project, the building was originally opened its doors in 1910, in 1968 it would officially open as the Anacortes Museum. But before all that was an exhibit, stationed at City Hall, an idea by those in town that thought it important to preserve our history.
