York Civil War Round Table
The York Civil War Round Table is a non-profit organization that seeks to promote, interpret, preserve, and protect the Civil War heritage of York County, Pennsylvania, through the education and exchange of information with its members and the general public.
Attendance is free and open to anyone interested in learning more about the American Civil War.
Founded as the White Rose Civil War Round Table, the York CWRT holds monthly meetings the third Wednesday of every month except July, August, and December at 7 p.m. in the auditorium of the York County History Center at 121 North Pershing Avenue in York, Pennsylvania. Each meeting features a guest speaker talking about a Civil War topic of local or national interest. There is no admission fee or membership requirement to attend any of these meetings. All meetings are also available for live participation via ZOOM. Please register on the website of the York County History Center to obtain a ZOOM link. Our meetings in January and February are via ZOOM only.
