The Carl Sandburg National Historic Site
Carl Sandburg, nationally renowned poet, biographer, folksinger, and lecturer, provided broad and enduring 20th century insight into the circumstances, worth and spirit of the American people. He passionately championed for those who did not have words and power to speak for themselves.
A midwesterner most of his life, Sandburg and his family purchased "Connemara" and moved to Flat Rock, North Carolina in 1945 for the peace and solitude he desired for his writing. Renowned for his literary achievements prior to moving, Sandburg continued to write and lecture, publishing more than one-third of his works during his 22 years at Connemara.
Today the National Park Service manages the site and preserves the Sandburg legacy for future generations. The historic site consists for a circa 1838 antebellum house and a 1900's dairy goat barn. The park also maintains a small goat herd to honor Mrs. Sandburg's world renowned accomplishments in breeding champion dairy goats. The rolling pastures, mountainside woods, trails and historic gardens are preserved to reflect the landscape that the Sandburg's enjoyed.
We invite you to learn more about this famous Flat Rock resident by visiting Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site. Please visit http://www.nps.gov/carl for additional information, directions and suggestions for exploring the site including guided house tours and upcoming events/activities.
