In order to provide more free opportunities for all visitors to enjoy the Sandburg Home, the park is adding five free tour days annually. In 2019: October 17 (park anniversary) and December 28 (Saturday after Christmas during the local school system’s Christmas break). In 2020: January 6 (Carl Sandburg’s birthday); April 11 (first weekend of the local school system’s spring break); and June 13 (the Sandburgs’ wedding anniversary).
These Sandburg-specific free tour dates are in addition to “fee free” days observed annually by the entire national park system.
