The 18th Vermont is active in
various events and programs, especially during the sesquicentennial
commemorations, and is taking the lead in organizing a series of
presentations on Gettysburg during the summer and fall of 2013. We are also
planning a New England Grand Review in Montpelier the first weekend of June
in 2015 to mark the end of the fighting and return home of the soldiers.
Participation in these activities does not require membership in the 18th
Vermont and we welcome volunteers to help in any aspect of the
commemorations.

The amount included a donation of $1,000.00 to be used towards the purchase of lands at the battles of the Wilderness and Chancellorsville, and $1,304.00 to be used to purchase 4 acres at Appomattox Station. Vermont troops had a prominent part at both locations.
