"Appomattox: The Historic Grounds of Reconciliation and Surrender" Step back in time to the momentous events that unfolded at Appomattox, Virginia during the American Civil War. On April 9th, 1865, General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House (EVCW2A-00019). This iconic event marked a turning point in history and brought an end to one of America's bloodiest conflicts. The meeting between Lee and Grant symbolized not only the surrender of Confederate forces but also a crucial step towards healing a divided nation (Surrender of General Lee - at Appomattox, C. H. Va. April 9th). It was here that two great military leaders put aside their differences for the greater good of peace (Lee Surrenders to Grant). As you explore this hallowed ground, visit McLean's House where the historic surrender took place (McLeans House, Appomattox Court-House, Virginia). Imagine standing where these legendary figures stood as they negotiated terms that would shape the future of our country. Take a stroll along the picturesque banks of the Appomattox River (View on the Appomattox River) or marvel at Johnson Mill near Petersburg—a testament to both industry and destruction during wartime (Johnson Mill, Petersburg, Virginia). Appreciate how life carried on amidst conflict with images like Medical Supply Boat at Appomattox Landing—an essential lifeline for soldiers in need (Medical Supply Boat, Appomattox Landing). Witness remnants from this era such as High Bridge Crossing—once vital for transportation but now serving as a reminder of battles fought nearby (High Bridge Crossing the Appomattox Near Farmville). Immerse yourself in history by visiting an old colonial house—a silent witness to times gone by when war ravaged the land (An old colonial house at Appomattox, Virginia).
