Appomattox & the Museum of the Confederacy


By the time we left Appomattox Court House National Historical Park it was 12:40 and we decided to eat lunch before visiting the Appomattox Museum of the Confederacy. We drove down to Wendy's and had our usual Wendy's lunch - Baconator meal. We took the time to write out the postcards we had bought at Appomattox Court House.

We then drove back to the Museum of the Confederacy. When we were in Richmond we visited the Museum of the Confederacy there and the White House of the Confederacy. The Museum of the Confederacy here at Appomattox just opened in March of this year.

We entered the museum and with our discount for retired military paid $8 for each ticket. We saw the uniform and sword that General Lee wore when he met with General Grant to discuss the terms of surrender.
