The Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site, located in Flat Rock, North Carolina, preserves the legacy of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and writer Carl Sandburg.

During his time here, he produced over a third of his published works.​ Visitors can explore the historic home, which remains furnished as it was during the Sandburg family's occupancy, including Sandburg's extensive collection of approximately 12,000 books. The site also features a working dairy goat farm, reflecting the interests of Sandburg's wife, Lilian, who raised champion goats.
