A mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia) growing in the forest at the Carl Sandburg Home Historic Site in Flat Rock, North Carolina.
The Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site in the village of Flat Rock, North Carolina, preserves Connemara, the home of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and writer Carl Sandburg. Though a Midwesterner, Sandburg and his family moved to this home in 1945 for the peace and solitude required for his writing and the more than 30 acres of pastureland required for his wife, Lilian, to raise her champion daily goats. Sandburg spent the last twenty-two years of his life on this farm and published more than a third of his works while he resided here.
