The Lincoln Memorial Shrine

A Lincoln Museum in Redlands, CA

Two hundred years after his birth, the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln continues to fascinate and inspire. Born into poverty on the edge of an untamed frontier, his rise from obscurity to greatness has become a symbol of the universal hope that we can all improve our circumstances in life.

Civil War Round Table

The Inland Empire Civil War Round Table (IECWRT) is an educational organization open to anyone interested in the American Civil War, 1861-65. Founded in 1987, the Round Table is both a setting for formal talks and a forum for informal discussions of topics related to the Civil War.

The IECWRT hosts free, virtual programs, usually the third Monday of the month at 6:30 p.m. (Pacific). The link, which opens at 6:15 that night, is at: inlandempirecwrt.org.

The Round Table also hosts free, in-person programs at 6:30 p.m. (Pacific), usually the third Wednesday of the month in the Assembly Room of the A.K. Smiley Public Library, 125 W. Vine St., Redlands, California. Social time begins at 6 p.m.

The in-person program also will livestream on Zoom. The link, which opens at 6:15 that evening, is at the above website.

A recording of each IECWRT program is available on the nonprofit’s website soon thereafter.

Also on the Round Table’s website is: a list of its program speakers and their respective topics, dates, and times; the IECWRT’s newsletter, the “Hardtack;” and program information from fellow Southern California-based Civil War Round Tables, which have formed an alliance (socalcwrt.org) founded by IECWRT President Mike Hoover, to better serve the public.
