ABOVE: historian Dan Welch will visit us for our May 13, 2026 meeting
The Civil War Roundtable of the Merrimack invites you to our May 13, 2026 meeting at 7:30pm, at the Hilton Senior Center.
Against overwhelming odds, this lone Union brigade held Culp’s Hill in a climactic action on July 2, 1863. Learn about Greene, his men, and their gallant service on the slope of Culp’s Hill in this exciting program.
Dan Welch has served as editor of Gettysburg Magazine, National Park Service ranger at Gettysburg National Military Park, Education Programs Coordinator with the Gettysburg Foundation, and an instrumental music teacher with several public school districts in northeast Ohio. He is the co-author of two works in the Emerging Civil War Series, The Last Road North: A Guide to the Gettysburg Campaign, 1863 and Never Such a Campaign: The Battle of Second Manassas, August 28-30, 1862.
PLEASE feel free to spread the word and bring a friend!
We are free and open to the public.

The Civil War Roundtable of the Merrimack has begun a "member participation" project.
We're looking for members to take photos of their Hometown Civil War Memorials, then email the photo to the CWRT of the Merrimack website along with info, such as the town, location (address etc) and any info you might know related to the monument.
As we get them, we'll begin a section on our website as a source of sorts, listing the Monuments or Memorials.
To keep things from getting out of hand, we'd like to keep it to the northeastern part of Massachusetts, southern New Hampshire and southen Maine. These are the areas our members reside.
Feel free to send in other towns adjecent to your town or one maybe not covered by membership.
Our email: cwrtm1861@gmail.com
