As we continue to visit spooky season this week, I wanted to share this photo I took just a few days ago before dusk at the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site. I have heard it referred to as the man made trout pond and it’s located at the end of Orchard Path. The photo is taken at eye level standing just below the retaining wall. It’s an absolutely gorgeous natural vignette, but I find the dark water both eerie and spooky. Enjoy the Historic Site and the season

Touring the Historic Home at the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site is a wonderful experience, especially with the holidays coming up offering some added festive holiday decorations. If you tour the home during this particular spooky season, you may be a bit curious about this door. 👻

Just a reminder to stay Bear Aware while walking the trails. Bears are still out and active throughout the Fall season.
