Civil War Round Table: Stories, Strategy & Legacy
Join fellow history enthusiasts for an evening of dialogue, discovery, and deep reflection at The Historic Van Horne Hotel’s Civil War Round Table. Held in our beautifully restored ballroom—once a gathering space during the very era we explore—this immersive event brings together historians, reenactors, and guests for lively discussion on the people, battles, and turning points that shaped a nation.
Whether you're a Civil War scholar or simply curious about the past, this round table offers something for everyone. Each session features rotating topics such as local Ohio regiments, battlefield medicine, letters from the front lines, and the role of women and African Americans in the war effort. Participants are encouraged to ask questions, share perspectives, and explore rarely told stories in a welcoming, intellectually rich setting.
Light refreshments, period music, and access to curated displays of Civil War artifacts make this event both educational and atmospheric.
Discover the human side of history and connect with a community that values preservation, remembrance, and meaningful conversation.
