The builder and first owner of the home was a wealthy slave owner who built the home in 1838 so that he and his family could escape the heat, yellow fever and malaria of the Charleston area. These buildings were originally slave quarters. Carl Sandburg turned them into outbuildings and guest cabins.

Pulitzer Prize winning poet and author Carl Sandburg would live in this home, named Connemara by its previous owner, from 1945 until his death in 1967. His wife would leave the property, home and all the furnishings to the National Park Service in 1968.
Carl Sandburg's wife raised award winning and record setting  dairy goats.  At one time she had a herd of over 200. The National Park Service maintains a herd of about 30 that are direct descendants from the original herd.
