I am wondering why an Appomattox thread would not be about Appomattox? This was the anniversary year and many thoughtful and solemn things have been said on social media, via live streaming and on videos -- all available for free to the public.
I think naming a thread Appomattox and not talking about Appomattox is ignoring the audience.

I was unaware that we were writing for an "audience."
Just a quick note to all my fans.
I'll be making a personal appearance in Springfield, IL for the 2015 Springfield Tour (non drinking/tourist thread) this comming Oct 2 & 3rd, along with Joe Di Cola and a few others. See you there.

Now back to your regulary scheduled post
- the Appomattox Park is very nice. Here is the web sit for the National Park.

Thank you for the link Gene. Looks like a beautiful site to visit. Is the House a replica? The reason I ask is that I was surprised to find out when I visited the Petersen House recently that the only original part left was the railing, some of the floor, and threshold to the room where Mary waited. I guess surprised probably not the best choice of words do to the structures age, relic hunters etc.. As for your Springfield tour not even a little libation? I think it would be only fitting if we could raise a toast at the spot Fido had his unfortunate encounter. If that location is even known.
