Visiting Appomattox Court House NHP is largely a self-guided experience.
Start your tour at the visitor center, in the reconstructed courthouse building, and get a map of the Park.
There are a number of special programs offered seasonally.
Things to know:
Programs/Services available year round:
Visitor Center Museum
Bookstore/gift shop- Tavern Kitchen
15-minute film in the Visitor Center (on the hour and on the half-hour)
The Junior Ranger Program helps kids (ages 6-13) have a meaningful interaction with our nation's history. Kids can get a workbook to complete as they tour the Park. Once completed, they receive a parole pass, a set of Appomattox trading cards and a Jr. Ranger badge.
Programs/Services available during the summer:
Living History talks are presented, often at 50 minutes after the hour. These programs are presented by actors who portray people who were here in 1865, and who speak as though it is still 1865. These programs continue through the fall when possible.
Ranger Programs are also offered throughout the year.
Please check out website calendar for a schedule of special programs.
No lodging or dining facilities are located within the park but both can be found within three miles of the Park.
