Carnegie is a small borough just 7 miles southwest of Pittsburgh, accessible via I-79 (Exit 59) and US Route 50. Most visitors use I-79 to connect with Pittsburgh International Airport (15 miles northwest) or downtown Pittsburgh via I-279.

Carnegie's claim to fame is housing one of Andrew Carnegie's very first public libraries, built in 1899 and still operating today.
