Best Answer

The surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia was signed in the parlor of Wilmer McClean's home at Appomattox Court House. It was a great irony for Wilmer McCleans other home in Manassas Viriginia was where Beauregard made his headquarters for the First Battle of Bull Run. It is said by many Civil War historians that the War of Rebellion began on Will McClean's porch and ended in his parlor.
