With Connie Backlund's retirement in October, the Carl Sandburg Home Historic Site has a new superintendent,
Tyrone Brandyburg.
From the Times-News:
Brandyburg was most recently the superintendent of Moores Creek National Battlefield in Currie and reported to his new assignment at Carl Sandburg Home NHS on Oct. 22.
“We are delighted to have Tyrone move to Carl Sandburg Home,” National Park Service Southeast Regional Director David Vela said. “He has done a superb job for the last five years at Moores Creek. He is an energetic leader with a solid Park Service background. We know he will be a great asset to his new park and to the neighboring community.”
Brandyburg, a 25-year National Park Service veteran, was born in Orangeburg, S.C.,
graduated from Branchville High School in Branchville, S.C., and earned a bachelor’s degree from South Carolina State College in Orangeburg....
“I’m excited for the opportunity to work with the talented staff and park partners to continue our mission of protecting and preserving park resources,” Brandyburg said. “Carl Sandburg was a very intriguing man who was a champion for the everyday working person, those who neither had the words nor the power to speak for themselves, and I look forward to learning more about him.”
