WELCOME
TO THE CIVIL WAR ROUND TABLE OF DALLAS
No event in our history fascinates Americans as much as the Civil War. Our interest in the war is only natural
for "it was the crossroads of our
being," as author Shelby Foote said, "It defines us."
The Civil War Round Table of Dallas is a diverse group of
men and woman of all ages and from varying backgrounds who enjoy learning about
the American Civil War. It includes
history enthusiasts as well as individuals who are just beginning to develop an
interest in the Civil War. It is
neither pro-Confederate nor pro-Union in its views, but rather presents topics
from both viewpoints of the war.
We meet on the second
Wednesday of each month to hear guest speakers, many of whom are nationally
known historians, and to discuss a wide range of topics. Membership is open to anyone at the cost
of $25 per year.
Our
meetings are held at the Divine Coffee Shop in the Northlake Shopping
Center, located at 10233 East Northwest Highway, Suite 434. This is on the northeast corner of
