“The John Cipollina Collection”
Before being loaned to the Lincoln Depot Museum in Peekskill, CW collector John Cippolina will bring part of his exclusive collection of Civil War artifacts to share with the RCWRT. Included in John’s extensive collection are soldier ID’d dominoes, Union and Confederate canteens, artillery shells, Minnie ball molds, rare documents, a field drum and a NY Doctor ID’d Medical Kit. John will show, explain and tell the story and history of each artifact in his collection and their connection to the soldiers who carried them over 150 years ago. John Cipollina is a longtime military collector who specializes in Civil War and WWII artifacts. He volunteers with several veterans organizations including Hudson Valley Honor Flight, Living History Weekends and drives his 1944 WWII Jeep in numerous Veterans Day Parades and other history events throughout the Westchester area. A graduate of St. Francis Xavier High School in NYC, John has an Orthodontist practice in Westchester and lives with his wife in Briarcliff Manor. This ensures to be a fascinating program and evening with the RCWRT. Bring some friends and family on........... Wednesday, March 27, at 7:30 PM at the Pirate Cove at Pearl River High School |

The Rockland Civil War Round Table is a non-profit organization founded in 1995 by Ken Dudonis and John Speight, that serves Rockland and Westchester Counties in NY, and Northern New Jersey. We are dedicated to exploring, discussing, understanding and preserving the history of the American Civil War. We usually meet on a Wednesday of each month at 7:30 PM, usually at Pearl River High School's Pirate Cove in Pearl River NY. Changes in the meeting location, time or date are announced in advance. We meet 11 times a year. Our July meeting is usually a local field trip. We secured a $250,000 Grant from NY State to repair and restore every single NY State Monument at Gettysburg. We have established a preservation fund and make regular donations to battlefield preservation groups and memorial associations. |
We make at least one long field trip a year to a battlefield with a recognized expert as our guide. We visited Gettysburg National Military Park in 2013, Lee’s Retreat from Gettysburg, PA and MD in 2012, Richmond Battlefield, VA in 2011, the Booth Escape Route, DC and VA in 2010 and Manassas Battlefield, VA in 2009. We have adopted the 124th NY Monument at Gettysburg and make at least one trip a year to “clean up” that position. This trip usually occurs in early to mid October.
Past speakers have included: Edward G.J. Richter, Sheriff James Kralik, Steve Laird, Guy Demasi, Charles La Rocca, Steven Wright, Jay Jorgensen, Thomas Dyja, Mike McAffee, Peter Vermilyea, Joe Bilby and many others. They have covered such diverse topics as, The Wilderness, Arms and Weapons, Civil War Music and Photography, North Carolina Troops, Richmond, Civil War Medicine and the Lincoln Assasination.
Annual dues for an individual are $30.00. Family and Junior memberships are also available. You are cordially invited to attend a few meetings to see if our Round Table is right for you.
