"Planning a wonderful and memorable Civil War-themed road trip goes well beyond visiting battlefields and military parks.
It involves time, motivation, curiosity, and looking in the right places. Don’t believe those $9.99 Barnes & Noble travel guides. After all, there is no “cookie cutter” Civil War road trip. Believe me - I’ve tried it for myself!
For some, it seems too difficult to plan and coordinate such a trip, so they stick to the comfort of armchair readers and online blogs. For others, time is apparently too prohibitive or budget restricts their adventures. They miss out, however, on the magic of history that one can witness in-person when they drive the road - or walk the trail - and experience the Stars in Their Courses for themselves. Join me as we plan the perfect trip suitable for you, whether you’re a novice history buff seeking the front lines, traveling to see the in-laws and looking for the necessary breaks in between, or are a tried-and-true Blue and Gray weekend campaigner! We will explore and uncover how to find the legacy of the war on our nation’s roadsides and in its museums, and maybe learn something adventurous about ourselves in the process.”
 Austin Krause has been a member of the Pasadena Civil War Round Table since 2015, and currently serves on the Board of Directors. He is a member of the Orange County Camp #1770 of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the Ramona Parlor #109 of the Native Sons of the Golden West. He has been re-enacting the American Civil War as a member of the 8th Louisiana Infantry Regiment for almost twenty years. Austin earned his degree in Sociology, Criminology and Justice Studies from California State University, Northridge in 2018. He earned a certificate from Columbia University in 2020 for completing Dr. Eric Foner’s “The Civil War and Reconstruction 1850 - 1877” course. His focus is on the scholarship of the Lost Cause of the Confederacy and deciphering its legacy in modern society.
