In 1991, the Virginia Tech Alumni Association and the university's Division of Continuing Education collaborated with Dr. James I. Robertson Jr., the university's nationally renowned Civil War historian, to schedule a weekend of activities geared to Civil War enthusiasts.
Each year since--typically during the second weekend in March--participants gather to hear presentations by Civil War authorities and to browse books by noted Civil War historians.
To be held at The Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center in the heart of downtown Roanoke, Va., the 19th annual Civil War Weekend promises to be a special occasion. Based on past events, a record enrollment of university alumni, friends, and Civil War buffs from across the country is anticipated.
Registration will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
