SUMMARY:June 1863 - The Road to Gettysburg: A Civil War Symposium
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\nThe Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall is pleased to announce our ninth annual Civil War Symposium\, scheduled for April 2 – 3\, 2027. Though often overlooked by the penultimate three day battle at Gettysburg\, June 1863 was a pivotal month as the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia maneuvered northward from central Virginia\, through Maryland\, and into Pennsylvania. In June 1863: The Road to Gettysburg\, nine dynamic historians will unpack the movements\, battles\, personalities\, and decisions that shaped how the battle of Gettysburg came to be fought when and where it happened. \n\n\n\nTickets are available for $125.00 until March 29\, or sold out. Seating is limited\, and previous years have sold out\, so please don’t wait to reserve your seat. The ticket price includes hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar on Friday evening\, breakfast refreshments\, a boxed lunch\, and light snacks on Saturday.  \n\n\n\nIn celebration of our 125th anniversary\, for those who purchase a ticket prior to October 1\, a portion of the proceeds will be counted towards our goal of a $125\,000 matching milestone campaign.  \n\n\n\nRepresentatives from Arsenal Cider – Pittsburgh’s Civil War-themed hard cider distillery – will be on hand Friday evening for tastings and bottle sales. Ongoing tours of the Captain Thomas Espy Grand Army of the Republic Post will be available\, as well as raffles\, a Civil War book sale\, and author book signings. \n\n\n\nThe CWRT Congress will also hold a two and one-half hour event for CWRT leaders and their members prior to the symposium. The event will focus on different ways that Round Tables can employ to become sustainable. This will include some inspired exercises and plenty of time to discover how other CWRTs have tackled their challenges. Member recruitment and retention\, organizational culture improvements\, and community partnerships are all on this short but dynamic agenda. Please register for this session HERE. \n\n\n\nSymposium proceeds help to preserve the priceless artifacts in the Captain Thomas Espy Grand Army of the Republic Post\, and supports our monthly Civil War programming at the Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall.  \n\n\n\nACFL&MH is grateful to Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation\, So Nobly Advanced\, Civil War Trails\, Civil War Roundtable Congress\, Military Images\, and Addressing Gettysburg for their sponsorship and ongoing support of our annual Civil War Symposium!  \n\n\n\nPlease contact Espy Post curator\, Jon-Erik Gilot\, at gilotj@carnegiecarnegie.org with any questions.  \n\n\n\nBUY TICKETS\n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\nJames Hessler – June 30: The Eve of Battle \n\n\n\nJames Hessler has been a licensed battlefield guide at Gettysburg National Military Park since 2003 and is the author or co-author of four acclaimed books on the Gettysburg campaign.
