Here are a few shots I took at the McClean house at Appomattox a couple of weeks ago.

The parlor. The tables are not originals, but this is where the surrender occurred (see painting below)

We visited there in 2015. Beautiful place and area. If I remember correctly the guide told us the McLean house is a reproduction not the original building.
I think he said it got moved from there to DC and ended up being stored or got weathered and had to be replicated.

Did y'all hear that too?
