Carl Sandburg State Historic Site

This is my second visit to the Carl Sandburg State Historical Site. It's functions as a cemetery honoring Carl Sandburg his wife and two of his daughters. All four live beneath Remembrance Rock, their ashes placed beneath The Rock. I visited in 2004, and the pine trees that accent The Rock had yet to be planted. I couldn't really walk around the Rock and read the flat stones and grave with Sandburg's poetry. Do you snow had melted and turned to ice and the ice covered the engraved stones. Of course the visitor center and the cottage couldn't welcome guess due to Covid-19 restrictions. I'm glad to see that a barn added since my last visit houses lectures and concerts. After all Sandberg collected folk songs and share them with us in a publication called the American song bag. Just for fun, if you got a few minutes, listen to the FM radio presentation. It's well written and well produced. I think you actually get to hear Carl Sandburg read as part of the presentation of the Aaron Copland composition honoring Lincoln. I did I listened as I watched the sunset over Galesburg.
