McLean House, Civil War surrender site in Appomattox County, United States
The McLean House stands as a two-story brick residence with white wooden trim, featuring symmetrical windows and a central entrance beneath a covered porch.
On April 9, 1865, Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union General Ulysses S. Grant in the McLean House parlor, marking the Civil War's end.
The McLean House represents a meeting point between North and South, where military leaders gathered to establish terms for peace and reconciliation.
Visitors can explore the furnished rooms of the McLean House through National Park Service guided tours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily.
The current structure is a 1949 reconstruction using original materials after the initial house was dismantled in the 1890s for a failed exhibition project.
