Does our history matter, and why?
If you enjoy reading or studying history, you may be asked this question. How do you answer? The more history you read and the more historical characters you get to know, the better you are prepared to answer. Why not join other like-minded history lovers, buffs and readers?
The History Book Club was created by members of The Joshua L. Chamberlain Civil War Round Table. Over the years we have expanded our reading selections to Revolutionary and World War I & II history as well as continuing our reading on the Civil War era.
Anyone and everyone is invited to join our discussions, debates (we sometimes disagree) and treats, cookies, brownies, etc. (We don’t disagree about these.)
We generally meet the 2nd or 3rd Monday of each month at 7 pm at People Plus. See below for the books selected for this coming year and the exact schedule as we do vary to avoid three-day weekends and other conflicts. All books are likely available in our local libraries and bookstores, Amazon books, or for your Kindle.
Lunch Out – Join us for an organized get-together at local restaurants, usually on the second Tuesday of the month. Destinations listed in the People Plus News and “Peek at the Week” email. Pay on your own.
Events
Table Tennis – Meet to play ping pong multiple times per week.
Events
