Hershey Civil War Roundtable

Directions Website Contact the organization

Hershey Civil War Roundtable We meet on the third Thursday of each month except in December, at Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 542 8000 Derry Street,
Harrisburg, PA.

We discuss the Civil War - North and South. Also can join us on Zoom. In 1991, closely following the presentation of the Ken Burns’ program series “The Civil War”, a group of friends in Hershey started meeting at noon in the old Hershey Library. Someone would read a book, make a report and the remaining part of the hour was spent on discussion. This soon enlarged into an evening as well, still held in the Hershey Room of the library. With the building of the new Hershey Library, our meeting moved there. With more formalization, the now Hershey Civil War Roundtable began having guest speakers, authors, historians, Gettysburg Battlefield Guides, etc.. The Hershey Civil War Roundtable now meets at the Country Meadows Retirement Community every third Thursday of the month at 7:30 p.m. We continue to be one of the most active Civil War Roundtables in central Pennsylvania scheduling top authors, historians and reenactors. With the celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War, interest in the conflict has grown and the Hershey Roundtable is now welcoming a new generation interested in the learning more about one of the greatest happenings in our nation’s history.

Battlefields, burned towns, hidden camps, and powerful museums make these 13 Pennsylvania Civil War sites fascinating places to explore history beyond Gettysburg.

I highly recommend getting Rick’s book. I have his book “Curtiss Motorcycles: 1902-1912” and it’s an excellent read.
