Appomattox Court House NHP

Beginning Peace and Reunion

On April 9, 1865, the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia in the McLean House in the village of Appomattox Court House, Virginia signaled the end of the nation's largest war. Two important questions about its future were answered. Could the nation survive a civil war intact, and would that nation exist without slavery? The answer to both was yes and a new nation was born.

Visited this site today to get an understanding of the end of the Civil War. We have been to many of the Civil War battle fields so it was fitting to see this site.

Clara Barton NHS

She was a remarkable person

Clara Barton dedicated her life and energies to help others in times of need - both home and abroad, in peacetime as well as during military emergencies. Glen Echo was her home the last 15 years of her life and the structure illustrates her dedication and concern for those less fortunate than herself.

An amazing site to take in. Clara Barton did so much in her life and was dedicated to helping so many in both peacetime and wartime. It was a very educational visit.
