Programs:
Meetings are usually held on the
second Friday of the month at 7:00 p.m.
every month from September through June.
Meetings generally consist of a short business
meeting, a feature program, and a social
hour with refreshments. Speakers are the
best available in the Civil War community.
Many of the best speakers are members of
the Round Table. Occasionally, the date
and time vary, so be sure to check the "Calendar
of Events" page. Meetings are usually
held at the Guilderland Public Library,
2228 Western Avenue, Guilderland, NY. Again,
occasionally, the location of the meeting
is changed, so be sure to check the "Calendar
of Events" page for the meeting location.

Preservation:
We actively advocate the preservation
of sites related to Civil War history. Since
1985 we have raised over $250,000

one of the nation's most active and productive
Round Tables. See the "Preservation
News" page.
