U.S. Civil War Quote
"The dead of the battle-field come up to us very rarely, even in dreams. We see the list in the morning paper at breakfast, but dismiss its recollection with the coffee. Mr. Matthew Brady has done something to bring us the terrible reality and earnestness of the war. If he has not brought bodies and laid them in our door-yards and along our streets, he has done something very like it."
- The New York Times
KCWRT has conducted fund raisers to support numerous preservation efforts over the years. Generally, this is in the form of a donation to a preservation fund organized to save a specific Civil War site from development.
The Kalamazoo Civil War Round Table was founded in 1957 to support an interest in the American Civil War. We are devoted to education, social exchange, and historic preservation. Meetings are free and open to all regardless of race, religion, gender, or knowledge of the Civil War. Guests and visitors are always welcome.
