Civil War Veterans Historical Association

The CWVHA is a group of collectors of Civil War Veterans’ memorabilia. Although regimental and other Civil War military fraternities are represented, a large section of the Association membership specializes in GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) or UCV (United Confederate Veterans) material. This organization was founded in 1987 and meets annually at the Ohio Civil War Show in Mansfield, Ohio. The show is held the first weekend of each May. The group reserves a section of adjoining tables for displays and selling purposes. This is the largest display of GAR & UCV materials in the world. This year the show will be held on May 5-6, 2007. Our guest speaker, Robert E. Yott, a fellow member of our organization, has recently published a book, From Soldiers' Home to Medical Center, A glance at the 125 years History of the Bath Soldiers Home, that will be the subject of his talk.
