Museum planned for Appomattox

The pen that Gen. Robert E. Lee used to help end the Civil War. The elegant uniform and sword he had that day in 1865. These three iconic relics of the Confederacy, along with hundreds of other artifacts, soon will be moving from downtown Richmond to a new, $7.5 million museum in Appomattox, about a mile from the farmhouse where Lee surrendered the main Confederate army and effectively concluded the war. • Story
