Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site will host the annual Christmas at Connemara on Saturday, December 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The holiday celebration will be held in the house garage adjacent to the Sandburg Home. Musicians and storytellers will perform traditional holiday stories and music. Hot cider and cookies will be served.

This free festive celebration will honor Carl Sandburg and the family holiday tradition of music. Young visitors will find many opportunities for participation in storytelling and sing-a-longs too. The house will be decorated in the simple style of the Sandburgs with poinsettias and a traditionally decorated Christmas tree throughout December until January 6.
