Our mission is to provide a format where individuals may meet to discuss military actions, the effects of political decisions, and the societal customs that pertain to the American Civil War 1861-1865. The Roundtable is an educational, non-profit, and non-political organization. Membership is open to all adults and students over ten years of age. It is our intent to further the mission through educational programs and activities supporting the study of the Civil War.
