Discover Historic Appomattox, Virginia - Where Our Country Reunited 143 Years Ago
 
   
                    Appomattox Railroad Station, converted to Visitor Center
There is so much local Civil War history in Lynchburg, Virginia but for the history buff, a trip to Appomattox County, Virginia is a must. Appomattox is located approximately 18 miles east of Lynchburg and holds a significant place in American history. It was here that the Civil War came to an end in April, 1865. Appomattox is a small city in a largely rural county.
 
Spend the day at Appomattox Court House National Historical Park Attend the annual Railroad Days Festival in October CLICK HERE For local and regional links, schools, utilities & media information For the Chamber of Commerce, CLICK HERE Girls Favorite, shop! Consider a drive to Appomattox during the week of April 6-15, 2008.  It was here on April 9, 1895 that our nation was reunited after the Civil War. The Appomattox Court House National Historical Park will be celebrating the 143nd anniversary of the surrender.  There is a schedule of events posted at www.nps.gov/apco.
I highly recommend this National Park, a favorite of local schools for field trips. Learn about the historic surrender that took place here. Several Civil War re-enactments take place during the year. For more information ... more
