A panel of distinguished Civil War scholars will present their nominees for "Person of the Year: 1864" at a symposium hosted by the Museum of the Confederacy, the American Civil War Center at Historic Tredegar, and Library of Virginia. Who will join past selections Abraham Lincoln (1861), Robert E. Lee (1862), and Ulysses S. Grant (1863) as 1864's Person of the Year? The audience will have the final say by casting ballots.

Broad St., Richmond. Free parking is available in the library’s underground garage or on surrounding streets. (Parking meters are superfluous on weekends.)
