Abstract:

Lillian Steichen Sandburg was married to Pulitzer prize-winner Carl Sandburg. She and her husband moved into a home near Hendersonville in 1945 where he wrote and she bred goats. After Sandburg's death, the farm was made into a national historic site in 1968 and is free and open to the public. Thirteen of Mrs. Sandburg's goat herd still remain on the farm.
