Magee Farm, Historical surrender site in Kushla, Alabama.
Magee Farm is a wooden 1.5-story Gulf Coast Cottage built in 1848 with a front parlor and traditional period design elements. The house sits at a road intersection in rural Alabama where it remains largely unchanged from its original era.
The house was built in 1848 as a simple residence in rural Alabama. Decades later during the Civil War's final months, it became the location where surrender negotiations took place between opposing military commanders.
The farm stands as the only remaining structure where Confederate forces negotiated surrender terms during the American Civil War.
The property sits at a visible road intersection, making it easy to locate from the surrounding highway. While the site is privately owned, visitors can view the exterior from a respectful distance along the roadside.
This National Register of Historic Places site served as a museum from 2007 to 2010, displaying period furnishings and Civil War memorabilia.
