The courthouse here is famous because it is where General Lee surrendered to General Grant to basically end the Civil war. It is now a part of the national park service, thus, my visit here. It makes #80 towards my goal of visiting 100 national parks.

Unfortunately, when I got there at 7:00 am, I expected to at least see the famous court house from the outside. But a locked gate (open 8:30 am) met me at the entrance, a long distance from the court house. I think I could see it through the trees and took a couple of photos. I will have to revisit this place someday when I do my Blue Ridge Parkway trip.
