The Activities Committee is pleased to announce that our next upcoming field
trip event will be held on Saturday, September 18, 2010 at the Atlanta History
Center.
The Activities Committee of the Round Table is pleased to announce that we will
have a very special group tour of the brand new outstanding national exhibit
organized by the Library Of Congress, “With Malice Toward None: Abraham Lincoln
Bicentennial Exhibit” at the Atlanta History Center on Sat. September 18, 2010.
The tour will be led by Dr. Gordon Jones, Curator, just for our group and will
begin promptly at 10:00am. This will be the only venue in the entire South to
host this special exhibition. Following this tour, Gordon will lead us on an
additional tour of the new exhibit, “War: In Our Back Yard, Discovering Atlanta
1861-1865”. The entrance charge for the Atlanta History Center will be waived
just for our group in lieu of a minimum tax deductible donation of $25 to be
made payable to the Center the day of the tour by each attendee. The donations
will go toward the purchase & preservation of the Wray Civil War Collection,
which is one of the best Civil War collections in the country.
Afterwards, you will be able to visit the “Turning Point” permanent Civil War
exhibit on your own which is an excellent display on the struggle of Americans
to preserve the Union and those that desired to form their own country. The
other points of interest, like the Swan House and the Olympic Games Display,
will be available to visit also on your own.
Please note that due to limited space, this special tour is just for members and
if you sign up for this this unique event and have to cancel for any reason, you
must find another member to take your place. To sign up, contact Greg Reeves,
Asst. Chairman on the Events Committee at
