Welcome to the CWRT of Wilmington, Delaware

Founded in November 1956 by a group of Wilmington Civil War enthusiasts, scholars, and preservationists, our Round Table is one of the oldest in the United States and the oldest of the two in Delaware.

One of our founding members, W. Emerson Wilson, was also instrumental in establishing the Fort Delaware Society (FDS) in 1950 to preserve and promote Fort Delaware, a unique Civil War historic site set on an island in the middle of the Delaware River. The collaborative bond established between our two organizations in the 1950s continues to this day.

We invite you to attend our next meeting to learn more about the CWRT of Wilmington, Delaware. All are welcome.
