APPOMATTOX, Va. – Our seventh stop on the 10 News In Your Town series is in Appomattox.
Some residents consider Appomattox a small community including restaurants and outdoor recreation, but what’s driving a lot of tourism is what the area’s most known for its role in the Civil War.
A sign in town says it all, “Where Our Nation Reunited.”
“I look at it as a place where this country began to heal. You know, the four years of the Civil War were a climatic or disastrous time,” said Don Jones, historian and chairman of the Appomattox Tourism Committee.
