CVBT’s Annual Conference banquet is one of our guest’s favorite events of the weekend. In addition to the amazing venue, fantastic food, and warm camaraderie, the keynote address is always educational and entertaining. Renowned Civil War author and historian Dr. Kenneth Noe will deliver this year’s banquet keynote address discussing how weather and climate impacted central Virginia’s major battles and campaigns. If you’re in the area and unable to make CVBT’s full weekend Annual Conference, please consider joining us for Saturday evening’s banquet on September 13, 2025, which will be held at the Jepson Alumni Executive Center on the campus of the University of Mary Washington. Your registration and attendance helps forward CVBT’s grassroots mission of battlefield preservation.
