Appomattox County was formed in 1845 from Buckingham, Prince Edward, Campbell and Charlotte Counties. In 1848, another part of Campbell County was added. It was named for the Appomattox River. On April 9, 1865, Confederate General Robert E. Lee met with Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House. The surrender of Lee took place at the McLean House, home of Wilmer McLean. Though Appomattox is best known for its Civil War ties, a number of other sites are worth a visit. A modest cabin and simple grave site stand as markers to Joel Sweeney, a local man who popularized the five-string banjo that African slaves had improvised. Visitors can also experience music and craft festivals, as well as wine tasting and tours at Stonewall Vineyards and Winery in the northwest corner of the county. Also outdoor recreational opportunities abound at Holliday Lake State Park, Buckingham-Appomattox State Forest, and along the James River. Hidden antique shops, inspiring views of he nearby Blue Ridge Mountains, charming bed-and-breakfast facilities, batteau and railroad festivals, local pick-your-own farms and some of the South's finest most gracious people add to the charm and relaxation experienced at Appomattox.
