which has been at the tip of their tongues
since their arrival Where is the Court
House," They find that the original Court
house of Appomattox County. built in
1886. stood in the traffic circle directly
in front of Glover Hill Tavern. 1t no
longer exists in that it was burned in
1892 Since the Village no longer had the
prestige of being the principal stop on the
Stage Line. the new court house building
was erected in nearby Appomattox on the
railroad. However. this wasn't what they
really wanted to know: they wanted to
know where the surrender occurred. They
are told that it happened in the Mclean
House 100 yards to the west Of the circle
They are informed that when the books
say that the surrender occurred at Apo
mattox Court House they are speaking of
the entire village rather than the building
itself. They are told that it is a custom
peculiar to Virginia that the county seats
originally bore the name of the county
and the term Court House
Surrender Locale
The surrender itself was divided into
several phases. First. Lee and Grant met,
discussed and signed the terms of sur
render IN the Mclean House. and then
the three commissioners appointed from
each army met in the Tavern and Mclean
House. The physical surrender of arms
occurred three days later on April II.
1865. along the road to the east Of the
traffic circle and finally the paroles were
printed and issued from the Tavern.
With this general briefing they now
enter the Tavern. Here they see a number
of displays concerning the retreat to APP
pomattox the final fighting the surren-
der. and a little concerning the Village
itself.
The high point of the Museum is the
Guillaume Painting. This huge oil painting
is one of the most accurate depictions of
the Surrender activities. Generals Lee and
