Appomattox, Bronze sculpture in Old Town, Alexandria, United States
The Appomattox statue portrays a Confederate soldier in a standing position with crossed arms, facing south toward the Civil War battlefields.
Created by sculptor Caspar Buberl in 1889, the bronze monument commemorates Confederate soldiers from Alexandria who died during the American Civil War.
The statue remained at the intersection of South Washington Street and Prince Street until June 2020, when social changes prompted its removal.
The National Register of Historic Places recognized this Virginia Historic Landmark in 2017, marking its role in American history and preservation.
A time capsule discovered at the statue's base during a 1988 vehicle collision revealed historical materials that returned to the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
