Here, on April 26, 1865, Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston and Union General William T. Sherman met to discuss the surrender terms of what would become the largest surrender of the American Civil War. More than 90,000 Confederate soldiers of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina surrendered.

This simple farmhouse was located between Confederate General Johnston's headquarters in Greensboro and Union General Sherman's headquarters in Raleigh, North Carolina. In 1865 the two officers met at the Bennett Place, where they signed surrender papers for southern armies in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida. Today James Bennett's reconstructed farmhouse, kitchen, and smokehouse recall the lifestyle of an ordinary Southern farmer during the Civil War.

It can feel like the sands are shifting as museums face challenges and opportunities like changing patterns of visitorship, evolving technologies, revised funding strategies, and peoples’ desire for community.

The 2024 conference will explore contemporary issues facing museums, so that together we can take the helm to identify solutions and successfully steer our work forward

Whether you are an emerging professional just getting your feet wet, in the mid-career flow, or an established leader navigating the depths of museum work, we invite you to join us at The Mill Casino Hotel in Coos Bay, September 8-10, 2024.

Utah Museum Association 2024 Annual Conference

Museums exist to cultivate connections. Museums educate visitors, preserve objects, tell stories, create intrigue, and generate curiosity while providing an accessible, relevant, credible space for these exchanges to occur.

It’s a tall order to cultivate varied connections within our communities, which requires continued reflection, learning, resources, change, and intentional engagement. As we approach the United States’s 250th anniversary, let’s reflect on how museums are sites for conversations and civic involvement, how representation can connect rather than fragment people, how museum professionals create a sense of shared identity, and even how museums are simply powerful, tangible, places within our communities.

How are you cultivating connections

We hope you will join us at the 2024 Annual Conference hosted by the Utah Museums Association in partnership with the Utah Division of Arts & Museums.
