The 2010 Conference included a National Register of Historic Places Workshop conducted by James Gabbert, of the National Register of Historic Places, as well as a day-long field trip. A Marble Valley field trip headed west to Proctor (including the Vermont Marble Museum); to West Rutland (including its cemetery and the Vermont Carving Studio); to Hubbardton, a Revolutionary War battlefield; and to Castleton Village (including Higley House, the museum of the Castleton Historical Society). The Saturday Town & Village tour explored the region to the east of Castleton and included stops at Shrewsbury (Pierce's Store), at Cuttingsville (the Bowman Estate), at the Shrewsbury Historical Society (housed in a 19th century Methodist Church and its cemetery),and at Mount Holly for a barn tour.
