MVCWRT logo

Welcome to the homepage of the Mahoning Valley Civil War Round Table. Established in 1982 by a diverse group of amateur and professional historians from northeast Ohio and western Pennsylvania, the MVCWRT brings together like-minded women and men to talk about their favorite subject, the American War of 1861-1865. The group has grown from a realtive few who in 1982 met at a local diner, to nearly 150 members gathering monthly to enjoy good food, good company, and high-quality local, regional, and nationally-known speakers.

 

Next meeting:
