The GREATER TOLEDO CIVIL WAR ROUNDTABLE is a not-for-profit organization. We are here to teach and learn.

The Greater Toledo Civil War Roundtable's main purpose is to provide a forum where anyone with an interest in the American Civil War, regardless of his or her level of expertise, can gather together to study, discuss and learn about the various facets of this period of American history -- from the battlefield to the homefront and everything in between. This is accomplished through Monthly Meetings and Luncheon Programs. Our membership is large enough for a diversity of opinions and views, yet small enough for comraderie and friendship to flourish.

In conjunction with our primary function, the Roundtable wishes to encourage and stimulate interest in others through various educational programs like our Civil War Studies Course at Lourdes College, and our Civil War 101 programs, and other activities open to public and members alike such as our Cemetery Walks.

The Greater Toledo Civil War Roundtable also promotes the preservation of historic sites and objects. These are primarily, but not exclusively, Civil War related and include battlefields, monuments, flags, statues, historic homes and buildings, etc. Though the Civil War era is our primary focus, it is not our only one. We recognize that all items relative to our history and heritage are worth preserving. Some programs and projects that have received our support include the Civil War Preservation Trust (formerly the APCWS and Civil War Trust), Friends of the National Parks at Gettysburg, the Ohio Civil War Trail Commission, and the Fallen Timbers Battlefield Preservation Association. We have also participated on a more local level with such projects as the restoration of the Monclova Soldiers Monument in Swan Creek Cemetery, Monclova Township, and the "Restore the Glory" project at Willow Cemetery in East Toledo. For more complete information on projects and organizations we support, please visit our Preservation Page.

We are a non-partisan group. Both "Yanks" and "Rebs" are welcome within our ranks. Please take a few minutes to browse through our site. If you like what you see, let us know by either Emailing us or, better yet, coming to one of our meetings!
