===Commemoration=== Carl Sandburg's boyhood home in Galesburg is now operated by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency as the [[Carl Sandburg State Historic Site]]. The site contains the cottage Sandburg was born in, a modern visitor center, and small garden with a large stone called Remembrance Rock, under which his and his wife's ashes are buried.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.sandburg.org/ |title=Carl Sandburg Historic Site Association |publisher=Sandburg.org |access-date=April 25, 2013}}</ref> Sandburg's home of 22 years in [[Flat Rock, Henderson County, North Carolina]], is preserved by the [[National Park Service]] as the [[Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site]].

During the Spanish-American War, Sandburg was stationed at Camp Alger in Fairfax County, Virginia and so the county has both a Sandburg Road, near the spot where the camp was located, and a Carl Sandburg Middle School.
