Today is April 9th, which is the anniversary of the surrender of the Confederate Army under Robert E. Lee to Union commander Ulysses S. Grant in 1865, effectively ending the Civil War. It is one of the most significant events in the history of our nation.
The Appomattox Court House National Historical Park is famous for containing the house of Wilmer McLean, where the surrender took place.
Huletts Current reader, Sam Knaus, recently visited the Appomattox Court House National Historical Park and forwarded me these pictures. Sam emailed me and said; “My boys and I had a great time looking around and taking pictures, so I thought I’d pass them along.”
So this is a perfect opportunity to make the first test of our new embedded slideshow feature. So without further delay, here are some beautiful pictures of of the McLean House at Appomattox Court House National Historical Park. Thanks Sam!

One of the nice things about Huletts is that we have many people who spend their “off-season” in many areas of the country. If you have pictures of unique places near where you spend your winter, please consider sharing them here.
