Fifth CAA / CWF International Carriage Symposium
Colonial Williamsburg, 28–30 January 2016

We hope you’ll join the Carriage Association of America (CAA) and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation (CWF) as we welcome fourteen leading European and North American scholars to our fifth biennial CAA / CWF International Carriage Symposium. You’ll hear lectures on a wide variety of topics that touch on horse- drawn transportation. And you’ll have several opportunities to explore everything that Colonial Williamsburg’s Revolutionary City has to offer and to meet the men and women who practice eighteenth-century trades.

To kick off the symposium, the CAA will hold its annual membership meeting and a welcome reception during the late afternoon on Wednesday, January 28. As a symposium attendee, you’ll enjoy thirteen educational lectures during the day on Thursday, Friday morning, and all day Saturday. You’ll have Friday afternoon free to explore Williamsburg’s Historic Area and to visit the stables and meet the CWF’s new director of the Coach & Livestock Department, Paul Bennett.

For more than fifty years, the CAA has studied, preserved, and shared the history and traditions of carriage driving. Through the CAA’s efforts, association members and the general public can learn about carriages and sleighs, harness, driving how-to, carriage- driving history, early American roads, traditional turnout and livery, carriage restoration and conservation, and so much more.
