Appomattox Court House

After we finished at the National D-day Memorial, we decided we had time to stop at Appomattox Court House.

Appomattox Court House was the town, not the actual courthouse, where the Civil War officially ended. It was in the front room of the home of a man named McLean that the surrender conditions were accepted and signed.

The whole story of the surrender is pretty cool.

The house. It is a reconstruction. The bricks were taken one by one and people passed by so they could have their own small piece of history.

The front room, where the surrender was signed.

A fat squirrel with a nut in his mouth. He was running up the tree and turned and looked right at me. Just for the fun of it.
