ANNOUNCING THE BCWRT 2026 GRAND RAFFLE
To all our loyal CW followers, I wish to invite you to participate in our fundraiser for this year. It is simple: please purchase some tickets! Only $5 per ticket! Very easy …. And Rewarding! The prizes (listed below) include gift certificates to four very nice & well-known WNY restaurants. You may reach-out to me directly, & we will make arrangements to get you some tix, OR even easier way would be to attend our Lincoln Day program (& celebration of our 16th president’s birthday!) at the Buffalo History Museum on Feb 15th beginning shortly after 11am. There will be a table with a representative of the RT in the main court, where much of the ceremony is conducted.
I sincerely hope you will come to the b-day party in a few short weeks, AND stop by our table!

THE BUFFALO CIVIL WAR ROUND TABLE
2637 Hemlock Rd, Eden NY 14057
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.
The RT is called the BCWRT Ben Maryniak Chapter in honor of local historian & past president, the late Ben Maryniak.
The organization may be contacted by writing to the above address. New members are always welcome with dues an affordable $20 annually. Non-members are welcome as well, with a donation of 5 dollars.
