US Civil War Sites

The museum was great We’ve learnt a lot about Lincoln’s life and America’s history

Amazing! If you like history (and even if you don’t), don’t pass by without stopping.

We had no idea that this historical site existed!

There is a sense of peace here that is palpable. There are important lessons here of civility, graciousness honor. Grant’s terms of surrender could have been punitive but he chose an honorable attempt at reunification of our country. Lee also had this in mind as his actions afterwards aimed for the same goal. Unfortunately the lessons here seem to have been forgotten. Every American should first visit Gettysburg and then Appomattox Courthouse. Perhaps then the lessons here will be relearned.

Not to be missed. You are free to roam the stunning property or take a tour. Wear your sturdy walking shoes!

facilities were closed due to covid but we had a nice nature hike

Long drive. Good history here. We really liked the Ranger at the Visitor Center.

This is a neat place. Hard to get to, for an eastern park, but well worth the journey to spend a couple of hours here.

This is a must see. This was our first place to go to on our first visit and I'm glad we did.

Breath taking

It began to rain so we were not able to spend much time. Found a nearby geocache and continued on our trip home. Some interesting info and some grave markers dating back to the 1800's

Very knoledgable crew
