Appomattox

Appomattox has served as a rail and county-seat community in central Virginia since the late 19th century. Set in the rolling Piedmont near the headwaters of the Appomattox River, the town is associated with one of the defining events of the American Civil War. At Appomattox Court House National Historical Park, Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to Union General Ulysses S. Grant on 9 April 1865, helping bring the war to a close. The restored McLean House marks the site where Lee accepted Grant’s terms, while the park preserves the former village setting.
