THE PEACE CONVENTION
The Old Willard Hotel was the scene of the last major effort to restore the Union & prevent the Civil War.At Virginia's invitation, delegates from twenty-one of the then thirty-four states met in secret session from February 4 to 27, 1861 in a vain attempt to solve the differences between the North and the South.To honor those who worked for peace and unity this memorial is erected by the Virginia Civil War Commission February 1961
