The Civil War Roundtable of New Hampshire will begin its 2026-2027 season on Friday, September 18, 2026, at 7:15pm at the Harvey-Mitchell Library, 151 Main St, Epping. Doors open at 6:45. A $5 donation is suggested for non-members to help with expenses.
Just like other wars, music was important to the Civil War soldiers of both sides of the war as the men longed for aspects of home life and nothing was more popular than music of their generation.
Granite-stater Bob Kilham will relay stories of each song and the meaning or origins of how it came to be.
With a passion for music of the 19th century, Bob Kilham formed the Amoskeag Players in the 1990s, but also continued on his own performing at venues throughout New England.
Bob has also earned the Stephen C. Foster Award for perpetuating American music of the times.

We regret the departure of Michael and Denise Vose, two board members who cared about our group. We wish them well as they being a new chapter of life in Tennessee.
They are expected to attend the September meeeting.
This will create TWO vacancies on the board to be filled. Please approach us if you are interested in keeping things going.
October will feature a return of Gettysburg Park Ranger, Chris Gwinn, who'll discuss Camp Letterman. (the M*A*S*H of Gettysburg).

The Weirs ~ What is it?
The Weirs ~ What is it?
New Hampshire created a special place for its veterans of the Civil War in Laconia near Lake Winnipesaukee, still run by the New Hampshire Veterans Association.
It’s called “The Weirs,” and between 1878 and 1919, Civil War veterans from New Hampshire held reunions called encampments, often with special guests, such as William Tecumseh Sherman, George B. McClellan, Joseph Hooker, Ambrose Burnside, and in 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt.
The “Encampments” happened in August, and it was a very popular event in the state.
More info on “The Weirs,” can be found on these links:
We were founded in May 1991 and have presented talks by some prominent nationally known historians, regional historians including professors from universities and colleges, and many of our members who share their particular passion on a favorite person, battle, technology or what have you.
With the start of the season in September, dues are due. We welcome guests, but please consider becoming a member. Our dues have remained the same for some time now. $25/person and $40/family or household. Dues help our group function and bring in speakers. If you wish to mail in a form and dues, please email a request. A form will be emailed. Please don't send cash through the mail.
Our book raffle has returned. Gently used Civil War books are offered at each meeting. Tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5. Money goes into the fund for the RT and help us with expenses.
We also gladly take monetary donations and as a non-profit, it's tax deductible!
Please note we are meeting at the Harvey Mitchell Library, 151 Main St, Epping, NH
