Lee did not surrender at the Appomattox Courthouse.

He surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse (a village) in the home of Wilmer McLean.

Fun fact-Wilmer McLean also owned the farm where the first major battle took place at Bull Run.

Ironically Wilmer McLeans' home in Manassas played a prominent role in the war's first major battle. LINK
