In Appomattox, Virginia, we visited the courthouse and watched a video about the events leading to the end of the Civil War and Lee's surrender, looked at lots of historical artifacts, then toured the actual house where the surrender took place.

Our next tour was Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson. What a creative person he was! It was a very interesting home with French influences in the home from his time spent in France, passages made for all weather conditions connecting the outer buildings, and even a promenade deck connected to the house over the stables!
