There will be nationally renowned speakers, numerous exhibits of Civil War artifacts and memorabilia and vendors with Civil War items for sale. Special tours of the National Civil War Chaplains Museum on Liberty’s campus will be conducted in the afternoon each day.

A special banquet will be held Friday night; admission is $25. The cost for Saturday’s lectures is $25 per person or $35 for per family.
