mclean house印象

To see the room where Lee surrendered, ending the war was somber. There is an atmosphere in the building of solemnity.
-
Where Grant and Lee ended the Civil War. Loved the visuals in the house and the way our guide (Aaron) told us what happened before, on and after this time period.

I had always learned that Lee surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse, and only just realized that his surrender took place at the McClean House. We took at tour, and enjoyed hearing about the story of Lee's surrender, right down to the details about the pencil he used to make a revision to Grant's conditions. This site is well worth visiting.

Here in this simple house is where the nation was reunited at the end of a gruesome barbaric war....what is worth hundreds of thousands of deaths? No rose colored glasses here.

A replica of the home where Lee surrendered to Grant, it is located within the preserved and re-created village of Appomattox Courthouse. Well worth the visit.
-
The actual site where Lee was forced to surrender to Grant. Able to walk through the house and look into the different rooms where history was made. Interesting in that the house had been dismantled, kept and then reassembled in 1946. Park ranger checks for tickets and explains its historical significance.

The McLean House is a three-story home where General Robert E. Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to General Ulysses S. Grant on April 9, 1865. In summer 1861, Wilmer McLean and his family lived in Manassas, Virginia. His house was on the outskirts of the battlefield, and was used as Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard’s headquarters. After the battle, McLean began selling sugar to the Confederate Army, and moved to Appomattox Court House where he believed he would be able to avoid the fighting and the Union occupation, which impeded his work. A Union officer chose the McLean House for the meeting between Grant and Lee because it was the most impressive residence in the village. After the war, McLean would famously observe that "The war began in my front yard and ended in my front parlor."

A home where the owner left from Northern Virginia with his son and daughters to escape the war, and then the war came into his home with the signing of the surrender of General Lee's army to General Grant (American Civil War). Period furnishings in the rooms.
-
Kind of disappointed to find out that the house is a reproduction. Only several hundred of the exterior bricks are from the real house. Overall the entire village and area was neat for a history buff like me. Unique items in the museum. I would recommend it if you are a history buff.

While the house is more of a facsimile of itself today it still represents an emotional close to some four years of death and distruction on American soil. It is being reconstructed to appear as it did 150 years ago. Walk entirely around the house...you will have crossed the paths of some very memorable and historic figures!!
