Scholarly Seminars - Registration is now open!!!!!!!!!!!

The Association's seminar program was established by President Fred Hawthorne in 1991 as a way of showcasing the talents of the Licensed Battlefield Guides.  Though many, many organizations have copied the concept and put on their own scholarly weekend seminars, the ALBG annual effort is highly rated after  nearly a quarter century in operation.

The present Seminar committee consists of Chairman Christina Moon, Stuart Dempsey, Fred Hawthorne, Deb Novotny, Guillermo Bosch, Phil Lechak, Ted Gajewski, Dennis Conroy,  Rich Kohr,  Chris Wolfe.  They are charged with planning and carrying out the annual spring and fall seminars.
 
Plans are now being finalized for the main weekend seminar. This year we will examine the retreat from Gettysburg and the aftermath of the great Battle.   The dates are Friday, September 13 through Sunday, September 15, 2013.   Click here for additional details.  Registration for the fall seminar is now open.

The Seminar Committee's evening "Walks Through History" program will again take place  this summer.  .  For additional information and pricing click here for additional details.
