McLean House at Appomattox Courthouse Virginia is the site of the treaty signed by Generals Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant to end the Civil War. In the room pictured, Lee sat at the white table and Grant at the small wooden one ~ at least this is how it was portrayed in a famous painting detailing the moment. The area remains rural and the small town is perfectly preserved as a place for tourists and history buffs to visit. There are several homes, a general store and what was a saloon, along with an attorney's office and the Appomattox Courthouse which is now a museum. Appomattox Courthouse is east of Lynchburg VA and can be visited the same day you are seeing Poplar Forest.
