Outdoor access to the goats (in the barnyard and pasture) is available from 10am to 4pm daily. 

Visitors to Connemara Farms can see dairy goats that are descended from Mrs. Sandburg's famous herd. She raised three breeds of dairy goats; Saanen, Toggenburg, and Nubian. Each breed can be seen in the herd today.

Mrs. Sandburg owned and operated a goat dairy from 1935 to 1965. Here at Connemara, Mrs. Sandburg's goat breeding program produced champion goats and led to the improvement of goats as milk producing animals.

Rangers and volunteers are on hand to share this fascinating story about goats and Mrs. Sandburg's dairy goat operation. Learn more here.
