Carl Sandburg Home
Carl Sandburg is probably best known as a poet, but he was also a journalist, biographer and historian. He won three Pulitzer Prizes, two for his poetry and one for his biography of Abraham Lincoln. In 1945, he and his family moved to Connemara, a farm near Hendersonville, North Carolina. Originally from the Midwest, Sandburg found that his farm provided the peace and solitude he needed for his writing. It also had more than 30 acres of pastureland, which was perfect for the goats that he kept. Sandburg was particularly fond of the Nubian goats, which he used to provide milk for his family. He even wrote a book about them, titled "The American Goat." Today, Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site preserves Connemara and allows visitors to learn more about this renowned writer.
