A diverse group of about a dozen local people with an interest in Civil War history formed the Kent Civil War Society in 1991.  While some of our members are re-enactors, we are not a re-enactment group, but rather an independent non-profit organization dedicated to all aspects of the conflict.  We have no ties with any national groups.

Programs presented at the regular meetings by guest speakers or fellow members cover a variety of Civil War related topics.

The June and December meetings are "members-only".  They feature pot-luck dinners, socializing and special activities such as book auctions,  period music or living history demonstrations.
