Lectures will cover a variety of topics relating to the Prison and those who were there. Friday’s “Reunion of Descendants and Friends” and “Friendship Banquet” will be held at the Landmark Church Fellowship Hall with keynote address, music, displays, and door prizes. Saturday’s six lectures will take place at Catawba College’s Tom Smith Auditorium with displays and light refreshments included. Authors will be available to sign books. The two Sunday Memorial Services with flags, music and re-enactors are free to the public. Registration fee is $60 through March 23, 2007 and $70 afterwards.
