Main House and Swedish House at Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site

Wallace DH. 1984. Main House and Swedish House at Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site. Historic Furnishing Reports. National Park Service. Frederick, Maryland

Connemara was the home of Carl Sandburg for the last 22 years of his life. There are hundreds of photographs that show the interior of the main house from 1946 to 1967. With specific reference to the furnishings of the main house and the Swedish House, the primary value of the visual aids is to help interpret what sort of man Sandburg was and how he related to his physical surroundings. This report reflects on the furnishings of Carl Sandburg’s home and provides administrative and historical data for the site.
