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.
