The Col. Ryerson Civil War Round Table will hold its monthly meeting Tuesday, Jan. 20, at 7:30 p.m. at Sussex County Community College’s Student Center Theater in the “D” Building, College Hill Road, Newton.
Continuing its tradition of starting the year with a Civil War–related film, the group will screen Buster Keaton’s 1926 classic comedy “The General.” The 79-minute film, based on a true Civil War story, follows a Confederate engineer’s attempts to rescue his love and locomotive, combining historical events with Keaton’s signature slapstick humor.
Admission is free, with donations appreciated. A book raffle will follow the presentation.
