Union Army artillery fired at McLean's house, which was being used as a headquarters for Confederate Brigadier General P. G. T. Beauregard, and a cannonball dropped through the kitchen fireplace. McLean was a retired major in the Virginia militia, but at 47, he was too old to return to active duty at the outbreak of the Civil War. In the spring of 1863, he and his family moved about 120 miles south to Appomattox County, Virginia, near a dusty, crossroads community called Appomattox Court House. On April 9, 1865, the war revisited McLean. Confederate General Robert E. Lee was about to surrender to Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant. He sent a messenger to Appomattox Court House to find a place to meet. On April 8, 1865, the messenger knocked on McLean's door and requested the use of his home, to which McLean reluctantly agreed. Lee surrendered to Grant in the parlor of McLean's house, effectively ending the Civil War. Later, McLean is supposed to have said "The war began in my front yard and ended in my front parlor."](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6082897/03e26e76-6b85-47b5-9b5b-c87c77869d1b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Appomattox County Courthouse National Park](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/55551/ba6e176a-668a-4656-a80e-9015bbb950a3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Black and white Appomattox Court House National Park landscape, the American Civil War battle site near Lynchburg, Virginia, USA, retro-style bright monochrome photo](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/55551/8f539292-91d0-4151-9b57-42e92d9ca47c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Appomattox Things to do - Appomattox Hotel Deals - Vacation Rentals in Appomattox ![Appomattox Inn and Suites](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/13000000/12750000/12745700/12745687/9ae911f7_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### Appomattox Inn and Suites 447 Old Courthouse Road Appomattox VA CA $135 CA $149 total Feb 8 - Feb 9 includes taxes & fees Book a stay at this business-friendly hotel in Appomattox.
