Why Should You Be Interested in Civil War History?
The Civil War, what led up to it, and what happened afterwards are central to American history, and how the America we know today came to be.
At each monthly meeting of the Peninsula Civil War Round Table, the San Francisco Peninsula’s round table group, we explore and discuss a wide variety of topics related to Civil War history.
We cordially invite you to join us at lunchtime the third Tuesday of each month, at Harry’s Hofbrau restaurant, 1909 El Camino Real in Redwood City, CA. See the MEETING INFO tab above for a map and directions. Harry’s opens at 11 a.m. for lunch cafeteria style. Meetings in the side room to the left of the entrance begin promptly at 12 noon.
