Chicago Civil War Round Table

The Civil War Round Table of Chicago is a long-established organization that meets monthly from September through June. We present programming of interest to devotees of American Civil War history, support preservation of Civil War battle sites, and sponsor an annual battlefield tour. Founded in 1940, The Civil War Round Table of Chicago was the very first of over 200 such Round Tables around the world. The Civil War Round Table of Chicago is dedicated to the study of all aspects of the American Civil War, bringing together those who wish to expand and share their knowledge, as we promote the interchange of ideas. The only requirement for membership is a genuine interest in the American Civil War and its era, sometimes referred to as “the middle period.” Our monthly meetings are open to the public, members and non-members alike. We consistently feature distinguished speakers, most of whom enjoy a prominent national reputation. We typically meet the second Friday of each month.
