While Hurricane Helene’s impact is still visible at the Park (Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site), there has been considerable progress thanks to the efforts of our Park Rangers. The hiking trails reopened in late January, the barnyard is open and the goats are eager to have visitors again.
Currently the only available parking is the small Hikers’ Lot off of Little River Road. It has very limited space and there is no shuttle service available from this lot. Also, the historic house, restrooms, water fountains, and main parking lot are not available for use.
Please plan your visit accordingly.
The Friends
The Friends of Carl Sandburg at Connemara is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds to help support the park however we can. In normal times, this includes funding historical, educational and artistic activities, but in times of crisis, we join with the community to help in bigger ways.
While the future is uncertain, we continue to need your help. The only way of donating to specifically help our national park is by making your gift to “The Friends of Carl Sandburg at Connemara, Inc.”
Please use the Donate Now button at the top of the page, to go directly to our donation page. We accept PayPal and credit cards online and checks through the USPS.
