Why you should go…
This park preserves the village where Robert E. Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to Ulysses S. Grant on April 9, 1865. You can go inside the reconstructed McLean House, where the two generals met, and walk among the courthouse and original 19th-century buildings. Rangers give talks and living history programs, and hiking trails and a driving route lead to Lee's headquarters site and an artillery park. No entrance pass is required.
