| Connemara: This 264-acre estate was the home of Carl Sandburg, a famed poet, author, and Pulitzer Prize winner. Built in 1838 by C. G. Memmiger, Secretary of the Treasury of the Confederate States, the estate now stands as a monument to the Sandburgs, who enjoyed a simple lifestyle here for 22 years. The home has been restored and authenticated to depict how the famed poet lived and worked. |
