The American Civil War Round Table of Queensland, Inc. is a non-profit organization incorporated in the state of Queensland, Australia.   The ACWRTQ studies the history of the American Civil War and participates in various re-enactments and black powder shooting engagements.  We focus on learning and discussing Civil War history.

We further get involved in preserving Civil War sites in Australia, researching Civil War history, writing Civil War articles, and participating in re-enactments.

Prominent Civil War Guest Speakers, as well as informed members from our own group give presentations at our meetings.   Our meetings are open to the public for free.   We welcome visitors and new members to join us.

Our membership is open to anyone of any race, creed or colour.   An interest in the American Civil War is the only qualification necessary to join the group, and both Northern and Southern sentiments are welcome.

It doesn't matter whether you are "just beginning to learn" or a "veteran of many years" on the subject, we welcome you all.

Our group comes from all walks of life and each member brings in a different depth of knowledge regarding Civil War history.   Annual membership dues are $20 for individuals and $30 for families.   Anyone who is interested in becoming a member, please contact the secretary, or attend one of our monthly meetings.

We are a group of people interested in the Civil War;  interested in studying aspects of it,  in re-enactments of events and battles, in learning more about it and for many other reasons relating to the subject.  Some members have an intense interest in the study of various aspects of the war, are devoted to research, some to collecting, many to re-enacting.

Most members have a dedicated interest and enjoy reading, touring and listening to the presentations and participation in full dress re-enactments.

The only criteria required to become a member is to have an interest in the Civil War.

Both Northern and Southern sentiments are welcome.

There are Round Table groups all over  America and in many foreign countries.  Australia has three.   Some memberships are in the hundreds and some have only a dozen or so members.   Most have scheduled monthly meetings where they meet and get together.   While there is no central organization for the Round Tables, a good relationship exists between all of them.

Many swap newsletters and speakers and many members belong to Roundtable, Black Powder and Re-enactment groups alike.   All in all, the American Civil War Round Table of Queensland makes for a very informative, yet informal evening, each month.

Please join us at our next meeting and feel free to bring your friends.  We think you'll enjoy it.
