Come to Big Sky Country in 2009! The June, 2009 VAF Conference will be held in beautiful Butte, Montana. The conference planning committee is busy putting together a comprehensive program of tours and social activities that will expose us to a wide array of rural and urban built environments and cultural landscapes that illustrate the broad conference themes of mining, agriculture, and settlement. There will be a Butte Day, and two regional loop tours that will include Anaconda (northwest loop) or Virginia City and Nevada City (southeast loop), as well as visits to many small town and rural sites.
For more information, please contact Rolene Schliesman, 2009 Planning Committee chair, at 406-444-7742 or rschliesman@mt.gov. Plan to join us!
