Great historic with many beautiful trails. Liked the goat farm. The house is easy to get too. The walk through the hemlocks is very easy and gives you good views of the house. There are several moderate trails behind the house leading to Glassy Mountain wit good views . The walk around the lake is very beautiful and easy.
So much history... and an amazing display of God's creation.
So many goats! This place has a bunch of history involving the poet, but the real MVP is his wife who bred some prize winning goats. The location is a dairy farm for goats and has all of it's original structures up. The property is a beautiful walk along a gravel path that will take you past the lake and to the main house. On the back side of the property there are two trails that go to peaks, these trails are a couple miles long.
Definitely a place to visit if you are in the area they just had a litter of goats born a week or so before our trip up, so cute. They were in the process of restoring parts of the house so some areas were empty of items. It was a very scenic place to wander the trails and property! the bathrooms were well maintained and stocked. just remember to leave the way that you came in if you park in the handicap area it has a sensor that will open the gate you don't want to get stuck on a trail head/old exit with very little room to turn around with, like we did the first time we went! We will be back again very soon
Bring a sturdy, comfortable pair of walking shoes. Be prepared to walk. The Sandburg home offers an amazing opportunity to look into the life of a writer. Not to be overlooked, read up on Mrs Sandburg's work with goats. Rangers and staff here are among the most helpful and pleasant I've come across. If you're up for a bit more strenuous walk, take the time to hike the Glassy Mountain trail. A very well groomed trail, but takes a little time and effort to take on the incline. Well worth the effort, though, for the natural treasures along the way.
Great place get the family outdoors. Staff are all ways friendly. The goat farm is very fun for the kids and adults. Glassy is a moderate hike with fantastic views.
