APPOMATTOX, VIRGINIA

We got in a little later than we expected, so took a quick tour of Appomattox Court House National Park. The visitor center is located in the Court House with a movie and small museum. You can wander around the village at your leisure and tour the McLeans home, where the surrender happened. On April 9, 1865, Robert E. Lee surrendered his men to Ulysses S. Grant. For our nation it was a new beginning. Following is the Court House.
