Formerly known as the Donor Thank You Weekend, the Color Bearer Conference is an annual, by invitation-only event, open to all Color Bearer members. You may register for yourself and one other person (such as a spouse or guest). This is a benefit of your Color Bearer membership.

We have a fun, history-filled weekend in store for you in Northern Virginia. We’ll explore some of the most famous battlefields of the American Civil War, while also visiting land that you helped us to preserve at those sites. We’ll be joined by top historians in the field, including Garry Adelman, Dennis Frye, John Hennessy, and more!
