The
Appomattox Court House National Historical Park
is a
National Historical Park
of original and reconstructed nineteenth century buildings in
Virginia
. The village is famous as the site of the
Battle of Appomattox Court House
and containing the house of
Wilmer McLean
, where the surrender of the
Confederate army
under
Robert E. Lee
to
Union
commander
Ulysses S. Grant
took place on April 9, 1865, effectively ending the
American Civil War
. The
McLean House
