Check out The Civil War Round Table of the Mid-Ohio Valley

I want the general public to be aware of a great organization: The Civil Round Table of the Mid Ohio Valley. There are no dues, the meetings are every other month with a speaker covering a specific topic (donations accepted), and the meetings, times, and locations are published in The Marietta Times.

My husband, Sam, and I just recently returned from a trip organized by the Round Table. The trip was five (5) days and four (4) nights into and around South Carolina where we visited Civil War and Revolutionary War sites. We all learned something new by visiting Camden, Mt. Pleasant, Sullivan's Island, Forts Moultrie and Sumter, Charleston, Beaufort, the Cowpens, and Salisbury, South Carolina. Learning about the H.L. Hunley submarine was also memorable. The planning committee did a wonderful job and the itinerary was followed. The weather was great with rain falling only when we were on the bus. The motels/hotels were first rate with complimentary breakfasts. Brewster Travel provided the "kneeling" bus and the driver was very accommodating and friendly.

The next meeting of the Civil War Round Table should be in January near the middle of the month. Look for the notification in the "Meetings" section.
