Our Legacy & Purpose
The Green Mountain Civil War Roundtable was established to foster a deep understanding of the American Civil War through scholarly research and community engagement. We meet monthly at the Bugbee Senior Center in White River Jct, Vt., and draw inspiration from the brave soldiers who served and the enduring impact of the conflict on our nation’s identity.
We host monthly presentations by renowned historians, organize field trips to hallowed battlefields, and maintain an extensive archive of primary sources. Our roundtable is a place where history enthusiasts, educators, and students come together to ensure that the lessons of the past are never forgotten.
Preserving History
Since our foundation, we have dedicated ourselves to the preservation of Civil War history. Our mission is to connect members through scholarly discussion and the sharing of information, ensuring that the legacy of this pivotal era remains accessible and relevant for future generations.
