The Pasadena Civil War Round Table meets monthly in Pasadena to provide a forum for discussion and education about the conflict that so deeply affected the very fabric of our nation.  Our monthly meetings bring to Pasadena many of the leading experts on the Civil War, including noted authors, historians, re-enactors, and Civil War enthusiasts on a wide variety of topics.  We also raise funds to support the preservation of Civil War battlefield and historical sites.

The meetings are free and open to the public. Whether you are just beginning to learn about the Civil War or enjoy a lengthy experience of Civil War study, you will always find something of interest at our monthly meetings.

We invite you to explore our website, check out the next presentation found in the Next Presentation page and the list of future speakers in the Upcoming Presentations page. You are welcome to enlist as a member which you can easily do as explained on our Become a Member page. You can learn about exciting Civil War news on our News page and follow the always interesting blog of Nick Smith on our Blog page.
