2010 Ames Society Convention

October 15 and 16, 2010

Start planning now for our 2010 Convention.  We will be meeting in SALT LAKE CITY, Utah to take advantage of the Family History Library.  This library has an incredible collection of resources from around the nation and world. 

Aside from conducting research, the Salt Lake City area also provides us with the Golden Spike National Historic Site which commemorates the creation of the first transcontinental railroad.  Oakes Ames of the William Ames of Braintree line was one of the major players and this park is dedicated to him and all the others that made the achievement possible.   Members can access an article written about this event which is celebrated on the back of Utah's state quarter.

The Society will be staying at the Salt Lake Plaza Hotel.  Book early for only a limited amount of blocked rooms will be available at a reduce cost. Be sure to mention that you are with The Ames Society when booking (800-366-3684).  You must complete the registration form and send to the The Ames Society by September 1, 2010.

Check back to this webpage as we get closer to the date for more details.  Members - access a preplanning guide so you can get the most out of this fantastic opportunity.
