Tennessee Night-Meet the Speakers Reception

The Tennessee Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans is pleased to host the Meet the Speakers Reception in the Belle Meade Room of the Music City Sheraton Hotel. Featuring a period band, the evening will allow conference attendees to converse with our speakers and have them autograph books. The Division is proud to offer as an evening speaker THOMAS CARTWRIGHT, famed historian and former Director of the Carter House Historic Site on the Franklin Battlefield. Mr. Cartwright will discuss The Battle of Franklin, one of the bloodiest and costly Confederate defeats of the War Between the States. Book your room now or call 1-615-885-2200.
