Magee Farm, Historical surrender site in Kushla, Alabama.

Magee Farm, also known as the Jacob Magee House, is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame residence in Kushla, Alabama, built by Jacob Magee in 1848 in the Gulf Coast Cottage style. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

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 house is known for the April 29, 1865 ceasefire that Confederate General Richard Taylor negotiated there with Union General Edward Canby, covering Taylor's 47,000 troops in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. The building later served as a museum from 2004 until 2010.

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.

The house opened as a museum in 2004 after the Civil War Trust helped save 12.6 acres of the farm; it closed in 2010 for lack of public support and falling revenues, was put up for sale, and was listed that year among Alabama's Places in Peril.
