whether you are a civil war history buff or an avid bird watcher or just like the outdoors, the trails her are well kept, well delineated, and full of information about the demise of the army of northern Virginia, whose battle flag many inappropriately ascribe to the entire confederate cause

If you don't already know about the Civil War and Appomattox, please read at least a little bit before you go and this place will move you. And remember, even those fighting for the "wrong side" can be honorable and deserving of respect.

The exhibits have enough information for both the novice Civil War buff and the expert. The staff was eager to impart information not contained in the signage. Their information gave a better perspective to the events that took place there 150 years ago.

This is the place where Lee & Grant met to sign final documents which ended the long war. Going through the building you get a real feel for the history & what transpired so long ago. Well worth a stop!

He was very indignant to our... More

See the Courthouse, McLean home, General Store. Don't... More

We visited Appomattox Court House National Park on Sunday, April 21 and were pleasantly surprised to find that a reenactment was taking place. We had planned to spend a couple of hours seeing the McLean House, the old Courthouse, and the Clover HIll Tavern where Lee's Army of Northern Virginia surrendered to U. S. Grant. When we arrived,Union and Confederate... More
