The Nov. 12 Sandburg Songbag performance will be in the site’s barn at 313 E. Third St. in Galesburg. The show starts at 2 p.m., with a break for refreshments at 3 p.m. A donation of $5 per person is suggested to help offset the cost of the performance.
The concert is presented by the Carl Sandburg Historic Site Association and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, which operates the historic site. Songbag concerts are funded in part by the Mark & Celia Godsil Family Fund, a donor advised fund of the Galesburg Community Foundation.
Carl Sandburg collected and performed American folk songs. The concert series takes its name from Sandburg’s 1927 book “The American Songbag.” The Carl Sandburg State Historic Site includes the birth home of the famed poet and biographer. For more information, visit www.sandburg.org.
