The American Revolution Round Table (ARRT)

of the District of Columbia

The ARRT offers a special opportunity to discover the many interesting aspects of the American War for Independence. Since 1974, from September through May, monthly ARRT speaking programs have been presented by historians, authors, and educators. Topics range from battles to political-economic and social aspects of the Revolution. Some programs are of pre- and post-revolution events that relate to the struggle.

The ARRT welcomes non-members to attend one of the meetings to evaluate their interest in joining the round table. The usual ARRT meeting begins with dinner, followed by a program talk. Most all of the meetings are held at the Fort Myer Officers' Club in Arlington, VA, on the first Wednesday of the month. Reservations are made using the form which accompanies the ARRT monthly newsletter, a copy of which can be mailed to interested individuals.

For further information on the ARRT call (703) 360-9712; or send queries to the ARRT.
