IMPORTANT CHANGES TO SEMINAR FORMAT:

To prospective Image of War Seminar Attendees:

We are changing portions of the seminar format from previous years. The increasing hotel ballroom, food, beverage and charter bus costs have made it very difficult to break even on the seminar while keeping the seminar costs reasonable for participants.  So, this year you see a simpler model that eliminates the expensive base hotel as well as most meals and bus transportation.  This will cut the seminar fees significantly.  You can stay wherever you want and eat wherever you want.

There will be a series of one- to three-hour events and tours spanning from Thur., Oct. 1-Sun., Oct. 4. We encourage attendees to purchase an “all-access” pass that grants entry to every event, but we will also allow people to select certain tours that work within your schedule. All-access pass holders will enjoy a photo-nerd tour to Emmitsburg, Md.; a reception with photographic treasures at the Adams County Historical Society and a “meet-and-greet” with William A. Frassanito! A special tour of Stratton Street and the remade Coster Avenue Mural with its artist/historian Mark Dunkelman will round out the members-only experiences. On Saturday night, we will host a special thank you evening for Center members only, complete with presentations and other surprises.

Also, Rob Gibson will hold a tintype workshop (yes, you get to pour your own plates!), and Garry Adelman and Tim Smith will lead tours over the battlefield  to Little Round Top, Culp’s Hill, the Rose Farm and more!

Attendees will gather at clearly defined meeting locations for each tour or event, and for tours will walk from that location along with the guide. There may be one or two tours in which one car caravan movement will be necessary.  And we will make sure that we provide the opportunity for one of the most magical part of each seminar — the interaction of like-minded enthusiasts who love our subject. We already have this planned for Thursday and Saturday nights.
