Historic Structure Report for Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site, Henderson County, North Carolina, Front Lake and Dam, Side Lake and Dam, Pond Bridge, Duck Cage (1836-1980)
Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site, established October 17, 1968, consists of 248 acres and is located twenty-five miles southeast of Ashville, in Henderson County, North Carolina. This Historic Structure Report concerns the Dam and Front Lake, HS-39, Dam and Side Lake, HS-40, and Pond Bridge, HS-35, built prior to the Sandburg's occupancy, but enjoyed by them and Duck Cage, HS-34 built by the Sandburgs. Each of these is an important historic scene element in the interpretation of Carl Sandburg's home between 1945 and 1967. The Historic Data Section discusses the pre-Sandburg periods when the land was first occupied by Charles Baring followed by Christopher G. Memminger, the first Secretary of the Treasury of the Confederate States of America. It concludes with the administration of the area by the National Park Service which began in 1968. The Architectural Data Section provides a basis for management decisions concerning the treatment of the 2 historic lakes, their masonry dams, a footbridge, and the duck cage.
