Designated as a National Historic Site in 1968, Carl Sandburg's home and the Connemara goat farm offers tours that provide a glimpse into the lives of the Sandburg family. There are also five miles of trails, including a hike to the top of Glassy Mountain, and in May, a folk music festival. Next door to the Carl Sandburg Home is the Flat Rock Playhouse, where they have a 70-year history of hosting Broadway musicals and theatre shows.
