To the Civil War Community
I would like to make particular note to ALL of you, yes the Civil War enthusiast! You are certainly aware of this most important period of American history, or you would even be visiting this site, right? So please, listen-up…..
The Buffalo Civil War Round Table is happy to announce our premier speaker will be giving his talk this year at the Buffalo History Museum! We have been anxious to have Dr. Chris Mackowski, historian, battlefield guide, author, give his talk at the most prominent location we have available in WNY. And here he will be on Wednesday, Sept. 25th. His talk is very attuned to battlefield engagement: Gen. Lee’s lieutenants in a critical phase of the entire war…. The Overland Campaign.
So if you’ve ever thought of trying-out, seeing what the RT has to offer, please come see Dr. Mackowskigive a thrilling, as well as most-informative talk, on this critical juncture in the war. The presentation begins at 6pm, but come early & take a walk around the History Museum if you haven’t there in a while. After all, it would be a great time to consider joining the RT. We will knock-off $5 from the regular yearly dues as the Museum is asking a five dollar charge at the door for RT/Museum non-members.
And by the way, while next month’s meeting is at the Lancaster Mun. Bldg., all of the ’25 meetings will be at the BHM, one of the city’s finer showcases!
Hope to see you there!
Carl Modica

The Buffalo Civil War Round Table (BCWRT) is a group of like-minded people who have a love of history, especially the Civil War. The central focus of meetings is the history and battles of the Civil War. The RT was formed in 1958 to mark the centennial of America’s most costly human conflict that took up words of 650,000 American lives. People with any level of interest will enjoy our presentations!
The RT has five meetings a year. We feature local and nationally renowned experts/historians. We sponsor Lincoln Day every February at the Buffalo History Museum. This annual event is the longest running celebration of our 16th president’s birthday in the entire nation!
Membership includes an informative newsletter. The organization maintains a website, www.buffalocivilwar.com as well as a fb page.
