About Hometown Heritage
at the Carnegie Library Museum
The City of Perry and Perry Public Library have partnered with Hometown Heritage to ensure the Carnegie Library Museum is open and accessible to the public. Hometown Heritage's goal is to bring our history to life by focusing on the many waves of immigrants who settled here to find a better life and the contributions that they made. This history reveals that the things that brought families here a century ago are not so different from those of today.
Hometown Heritage is now located in the historic Carnegie Library Museum in Perry, Iowa -- a building with many stories of its own -- and we seek to share the history of our city, our state, and our nation through the eyes of the people who lived here. Our collection includes a vast photo history of our city, the surrounding area, and the people who called this place home. Our goal is to bring our history to life by focusing on the many waves of immigrants who settled here to find a better life and the contributions that they made.
