 Andrew Dalton, Executive Director, of the Adams County Historical Society, is requesting all civil war round tables nationwide to make a donation to its building fund and that it is fitting that we should be the first civil war round table in the country to make this donation. The Round Table donated $500 to the building fund for the ACHS. 

 In a June Zoom meeting, the Board of Directors voted to approve a request of support from Civil War Trails. The excellent organization is needing some new sponsors, and we will be taking responsibility for the marker at the Littlestown History Plaza. There was quite a trail of Federals coming through Littlestown up the Baltimore Pike. The cavalry of Kilpatrick and Custer rode into town on June 29, Custer is said to have stayed in a hotel across the street from the History Plaza. The XII Corps was cheered by residents on the 30th of June, followed two days later by VI Corps in their epic march. All told, some 30,000 Federals came to Gettysburg on this Civil War Trail. We’re talking with the organization about partnering in future projects.
