Holliday Lake State Park
Appomattox, Virginia
We left the rain in North Carolina and drove to the blue sky of Virginia. We didn't want to leave this area without seeing the small community of Appomattox Court House.
This is the Clover Hill Tavern where the paroles for the Confederate soldiers were printed.
Confederate General Robert E Lee signed documents surrendering his forces to General Ulysses S Grant in the front parlor of Wilmer McLean's home. Ironically, the First Battle of Bull Run was fought on McLean's farm in northern Virginia in 1861. McLean later moved his family to Appomattox Court House in southern Virginia.
