A.K. Smiley Public Library

Serving the City of Redlands, California since 1894

Established in 1894, A.K. Smiley Public Library has served generations of patrons in the City of Redlands and beyond. The only “admission fee” is curiosity. Lifelong learning is at the center of activity in the beautiful, historic building and attractive grounds!

Lincoln Shrine Open House Returns

We are happy to announce the return of the Lincoln Shrine Open House for its 50th anniversary on Saturday, February 5, 2022, 12-4pm!

Taking place in Smiley Park and the Lincoln Memorial Shrine, the celebration will include new exhibitions, presentations by reenactors, live music, and much more. Don’t miss the 1st Pennsylvania Light Artillery’s hourly cannon demonstrations, cavalry presentations by the 7th Michigan Cavalry, and President Lincoln presenter Robert Broski’s presentation of the Gettysburg Address. Also on hand will be the Sons of Union Veterans, the Camp Carleton Band, and many more.

“While we were disappointed to cancel the Open House due to the uncertain health situation last year, we are glad to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary with our wonderful reenactors and supporters,” said Associate Archivist Maria Carrillo.

Program subject to change. Please visit www.lincolnshrine.org for up-to-date information.
