ARWW Conference Brochure AND Registration FINAL 09_27_2024

This is a multi-day event with speakers on various topics.  The emphasis is on the American Revolutionary War in the Western Territories of the new USA.

This should be a unique opportunity to learn and discuss little known aspects and new perspectives of the war focused on the western (including the Louisiana territory and the southern) theater and international aspects, with top scholars and experts from around the country and from Spain.

Registrations are limited and will be accepted in the order received (first come, first served). Due to the tremendous response to last year’s conference, we are doing it again with all new topics and expect another sellout.

Discounted early bird registration is available. More information can be found here:
