Shall We Hold a CSAA Conference Near You?
A question for you...! Where shall we hold CSAA conferences of the future? The 26th annual conference will be held in Tampa, Florida at Cracker Country on the Florida State Fairgrounds from June 13-15, 2027. This venue is  entirely unique in that we historically hold the gatherings on college campuses, while choosing a pioneer museum in Texas, a national monument in Nebraska, and a retreat center in Maryland as our chosen location in past years.

Cracker Country, Tampa, offers an entire village of original structures dating back to the late 1800s reflecting Florida's rural past, and our attendees will be presenting in the very heart of this history. Details are published on this website under the tab WHAT WE DO  Annual Conference Information.

We've held our conferences in over 22 different states and keep our antennas up for possible sites for 2028 and beyond. We encourage our members and readers to suggest suitable venues that would offer a number of country schools within a reasonable distance for our annual full day tour. Preservationists across this country are proud of their restored schoolhouses and this is a chance to bring visitors and national attention to your local efforts.


Offer a Suggestion!
If you believe your state or your local area offers such an opportunity, check in on our information page to learn how we can bring the CSAA conference to your area! The key is to have your 
local schoolhouse group work closely with our volunteers to handle all the logistics. All our conferences have been huge successes bringing together a community of schoolhouse enthusiasts. All have been memorable and mostly a lot of fun just meeting like-minded preservationists. Email me at [email protected]. (Susan Fineman, Conference Liaison)

Rivier University, Nashua, NH

    The story of what went on inside that eminently successful country school is an important part of Americana. It should be preserved along with a few remaining buildings wherein the great cultural pageant took place."
