Bridging the Gap: Connecting People &

Resources to Preserve Virginia's Historic Places

September 23-25, 2012

Leesburg, VA

The 2012 statewide Annual Preservation Conference held in partnership with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources will be in Leesburg, Virginia from September 23rd through 25th, 2012.  The conference draws 150-200 preservationists, architects, city planners, developers, local government officials, historic property owners, historic preservation non-profit staff and members and many others to attend sessions, workshops and field sessions on a variety of preservation-related issues.

We are pleased to hold the conference throughout downtown Leesburg.  Instead of being confined to a conference center, the conference will be a moveable feast. The morning plenary sessions will be held at the historic St. James Episcopal Church and the breakout sessions will be held at the Old Court House, the Thomas Balch Library, and the Leesburg Town Hall. Receptions will be held at Lightfoot Restaurant and Oatlands Plantation. This will afford attendees the opportunity to get a first-hand look at many of the historic properties in and around Leesburg.
