Ann, I don’t know where you live but I can tell you our Hampton Roads Civil War Roundtable meetings are at least 40% women. You might want to give your local one a try.
Thank you, I am in Richmond, know that they meet monthly, need to look into it!

Ann, I met a woman this weekend at the ACWM Annual Symposium who is an officer in the Richmond CWRT. FWIW.

I’m proud to say that the president of our round table–Cape Fear Civil War Round Table–in Wilmington, N.C., is a woman. She’s a great leader and very interested and proficient in history.
Years ago I was the second female president of our Capital District CWRT in the Albany, NY area. Our most recent president before she declined to run again had served two four year terms. Most RTs I know have regularly participating women, including as speakers. You would not feel out of place in most of the RTs I know.

Been going to the monthly meetings with the Houston CWRT and it has been a good time.
I just rejoined the Executive Board of the Capital District Civil War Round Table. I have been a member there for more than 30 years. Over that time, I filled all sorts of jobs. At the moment I chair the Membership Committee and write the lead articles for our newsletter.
I regularly attend Civil War Round Table meetings. When I am in Ohio, I attend the Cleveland Civil War Round Table and when I am in Florida for the Winter, I attend the North Fort Myers Civil War Round Table. I also usually attend the Cleveland Civil War Round table’s annual Fall fieldtrip.
President of the Hampton Roads Civil War Roundtable which meets the 3d Thursday of each month at Va Beach National Golf Club. Anyone in HR with interest can email me at grobertson@wolriv.com.
Yes. Four days after moving to Roanoke, VA in December 2020, I had the pleasure of attending my first Roanoke CWRT meeting.
Founded in August 1983, and recipient of a prestigious 2024 Kegley Award for Heritage Education, the Roanoke CWRT brings to Southwest Virginia some of today’s finest historians and speakers to address “America’s Defining Event” (yes, I stole that – with attribution – from ECW for our brochure).
Speakers have included the late James “Bud” Robertson, Jack Davis, Caroline Janney, Paul Quigley, Jonathan Noyalas (each present or past leaders of their University’s Civil War centers), Battle of Gettysburg Podcaster Jim Hessler, Teresa Roane (Archivist at the American Civil War Museum), Ron Coddington (Editor and Publisher of Military Images), Betty Shideler (Living Historian on “Death & Mourning” during the War), and many other excellent speakers.
We hope to entice some of ECW’s speakers to join us. And, if any of you happen to be in the Roanoke area the second Tuesday evening of a month (excepting June-August), please drop in for a pre-meeting dinner and a fine/entertaining educational experience.
It’s not difficult to “entice” ECW speakers to present to a RT. Our experience in Hampton Roads has been that they are happy to come. They have been a staple of our programming. I highly recommend them.
I’m a member of the Hagerstown Civil War round table in Hagerstown, Maryland which is one of the oldest round tables in the country. I’m the program chairperson and am in charge of lining up the speakers. Fortunately our area had a wealth of excellent speakers, most who are authors. Check us out if you’re in the area.
Charlie, if ever your CWRT wishes a talk on the Court Martial of Fitz John Porter, please let me know. I have spoken to the Roanoke & Charlottesville CWRTs on the topic, and will be presenting the same to the CWRTs of the United Kingdom, York, PA, Shenandoah and Jersey Shore.
Civil War Roundtables are still fun! I’m a member of the LA one (and this month I was the speaker—telling the wild story of the St. Albans Raid), and of the Pasadena one. I enjoy meting these people with similar interests, and almost every speaker we have had has been fascinating.
Regularly, Five different ones in the Chicago area: Chicago (I’m VP); Northern Illinois (I’m the cuirrent president);; Lincoln-Davis (am on the board); Sotuh Suburban; and Salt Creek (western Chicago suburbs). I also sometimes attend McHenry County and Northwest Indiana.
I’ve been interested in maybe checking out the Rappahannock Valley Civil War Round Table because it seems to be the only one near me that meets on a day that I could potentially attend. (Any members here?) I’ve been making my way through listening to the recordings of the Civil War Round Table of Chicago’s speakers that have been made available in podcast form.
Just by chance, Trevor, does the Rappahannock CW Round Table have information on the doings of McDowell’s I Corps in the Fredericksburg/Falmouth area in May-June 1862? I am gathering anything I can find on this subject area. Much thanks…
Houston, but only recently and a few times years ago.
I have seen Neil Chatelain there. I missed the last two meetings thanks to a new baby and illness. So I recently missed Sean Chick, who I would have liked to speak to again, and also a nice presentation on the Battle of Palmito Ranch which I’ve had the good fortune to visit recently. Dang baby!
Monthly when available. Fredericksburg, VA.
Monthly!
Albany NY
I have considered it but never have followed through, probably because I was wondering if I would be the only woman in attendance!
You’ll never know if you don’t go! Our Round Table has a number of women members.
Thank you for the encouragement!
