This month's Williamsburg Civil War Roundtable meeting takes place this
coming Tuesday, October 21st, at the Williamsburg Regional Library, 515
Scotland Street, Williamsburg. The subject will be the preservation of
Williamsburg's Civil War battlefield sites, and the speaker will be Drew
Gruber.

His presentation, "Preserving Williamsburg's Battlefield" will utilize new
research and maps to highlight the areas which have been lost to
development as well as the opportunities which still exist for preservation
and interpretation. Additionally he will discuss the ongoing efforts of the
Williamsburg Battlefield Association as well as the battlefield’s value and
relevance to our community.

Drew Gruber holds his B.A. in Historic Preservation and a M.S. in Urban and
Regional Planning. He was the 2013 Lawrence T. Jones III Research Fellow in
Texas Civil War History and is working on a biography of Decimus Et Ultimus
Barziza. He has authored several articles about the Battle of Williamsburg
and has been actively involved in the Williamsburg Battlefield Association.
He was recently appointed by the Governor to serve a four year term on the
Commonwealth's Board of Historic Resources. He resides in Williamsburg with
his wife Kate.
