ATTENTION: NEW MEETING PLACE AND DAY!!! We meet on the fourth Thursday of every month (excluding June, July, August), 7
PM, at the Lancaster County Historical Society, 230 N. President Ave., Lancaster, PA 17603.
All men, age 14 and over, with interests in the Civil War, are invited to attend. Juniors from age 6 to 13 are
also welcome. We occassionally invite speakers to give talks on subjects related to our interests.
General George H. Thomas Camp #19 SUVCW, was originally sponsored by George H. Thomas Camp #84 GAR.
Many men from Lancaster served under General Thomas, "The Rock of Chickamauga" for whom we are named.
Our monthly newsletter The Battlefield Dispatch is written and edited by Brother John Heine.
Our Memorial Day services are held at he G.A.R. plot in Lancaster Cemetery, off New Holland Avenue, Lancaster,
PA normally on the traditional Memorial Day (May 30).
The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) is a heritage organization dedicated to preserving the memory
of those men who fought to save the Union in the conflict of 1861-1865. Although many memberships, of males 14 (6 to 13 years
for Junior) and over, are based on the descent of those men, the order also offers Associate memberships for men who share
our goals, (Fraternity, Charity, and Loyalty) and interests, but who are not descended from a Civil War Soldier, Sailor or
Marine
