This is a one-day Symposium that is part of the ongoing Albert Gallatin Project. The Symposium will focus on the National Road and Internal Improvements as discussed in Albert Gallatin's 1808 Treasury Report.
This year is the 200th anniversary of the National Road reaching its first terminus point - Wheeling, (West) Virginia. Mr. Gallatin (Ron Duquette) will be joined by his friends, President James Madison (Kyle Jenks) and Thomas Jefferson (Tom Pitz) as one of the featured speakers.
The Symposium's keynote speaker is Dr. John Lauritz Larson, the author of "Internal Improvements: National Public Works and the Promise of Popular Government in the Early United States".
