About Us:
The Brandywine Valley Civil War Round Table was founded in 1987. Our by-laws state that "The purpose of the Brandywine Valley Civil War Round Table shall be to provide a congenial medium through which persons having a common interest in the events of the American Civil War - its causes and effects, engagements, personages, units, armaments and other things pertaining thereto - may satisfy their interests and broaden individual knowledge through discussion, lectures, field trips and the exchange of books, paper and other data. The purpose is also to consider the preservation and protection of the battlefields, sites, landmarks, relics and collections of the period."
In plain English, we are an organization of diverse people brought together by our common interest in the American Civil War. This interest can range from the casual to the obsessive. We intend to tailor our activities and presentations to appeal to all of our members, novice or expert.
Meetings:
Our meetings are held at 7:00 PM on the first Wednesday of the month during September through June. We meet at the West Chester Municipal Building at 401 E. Gay St., West Chester, PA.

A list of scheduled speakers is available on our Home page.
