The 2025 Bartram Trail Conference will be held in St. Augustine, Florida, where both John and William Bartram visited in October 1765. The venue is historic Flagler College. All events will be held at the Ringhaver Student Center, 59 Sevilla Street.
The Bartrams in Florida are the focus this year, so if you live in Florida, this is an excellent opportunity to gain a deeper appreciation of their travels here through many lenses. It's also a great time to get connected or reconnected to the Bartram Trail Society of Florida!
The conference begins on Friday with a Trail Workshop sponsored by the Bartram Trail Society of Florida. The workshop is free, but please register to attend so we can prepare accordingly. If you're working on the Bartram Trail in Florida, we'd love to see you there!
