Appomattox Court House-Appomattox, VA

"Here on Sunday April 9, 1865 after four years of heroic
 struggle in defense of principles believed fundamental to the
existence of our government Lee surrendered 9000 men the
remnant of an army still unconquered in spirit."

I think it is safe to say that everyone knows this country fought in a Civil War from 1861-1865 between the United States of America (North) and the Confederate States of America (South). The war was won by the North at Appomattox Court House. 

On my first trip to VA at the advice of people who worked with my fiancé we made the trip out there. For the short time we did live in VA it was weird that people who have always lived there have never been. Oh well there lost!

I would recommend going to visit when it is a little bit cooler outside because you will be walking around outside. It is a quiet place to visit. 

At the site there is the McLean House where the surrender took place. The house is filled with period furniture, items and clothing. Lee walked into the house first and then Grant followed, 90 minutes later they emerged and Lee rode back to tell them that they had lost.

There is outbuildings that you can see such as the exterior kitchen, outhouses and slave quarters. You can also take a walk through the county jail, and I know I wouldn't of wanted to be held in there. 

There is a few to pay per person depending on the season, but it isn't much. When we went they only took cash.
