I will be in southern Virginia this month and am wondering if I should take a detour to see Appomattox.

Has anyone been? Is it worth it? Any recommendations?

Sure assuming you're not bored with history. If you're like me and you find it intriguing to be where major events happened, even if it isn't your favorite subject, it's worthwhile.

Yeah, I've been. Not much there but if you are in to that stuff it's cool.

Not sure if you are driving all around that area, but Fredricksburg, VA is where Stonewall died and Lexington, VA is where Lee is buried. Both places were interesting to me

You gotta go to Chancellorsville to see where they buried Stonewall's arm. And pamplin park the site of the battle of Petersburg was the best battlefield that I have probably been to, they have a real nice setup. Or they did when I was in the 4th grade at least haven't been back.

Richmond has a ton of cool Civil War shite all within 5 or so miles of each other if you come along that way.

I did my eagle scout project at the fish hook towards Petersburg.

Most definitely worth it. There are a good bit of battlefields to visit, besides Appomattox: Spotslvania, Fredericksburg, Richmond, Petersburg, to name a few. All worth the visit.
