In August of 2023, me and my mom went to the Carl Sandburg House National Historic Site in North Carolina. We were meeting up for a convention of The National Park Travelers Club.
Who is Carl Sandburg? He was into poetry, journalism, biography, children’s stories, prose writing, and social activism. He lived at this house with his wife Lilian and three daughters, Margaret, Janet and Helga.
Here is the house on the hill. You walk through the beautiful forest to get there. They do have a tram you can ride up to the house too. When we were there the park was closed but I got to see the house and watch a video about Carl Sandburg and his family.
Here are some of the buildings on the land. One of the other main buildings was the barn area. That is where his wife Lilian breed goats.
There is a fence area where you can pet the goats that they have on the farm.
Here is the rest of the house from the outside. They have a beautiful garden in the back.
