NPS Image
At Appomattox Court House visitors have opportunities to participate in living history talks and ranger lead talks. A living history talk is presented by a staff member who portrays a person who actually lived during 1865 and shares with visitors what he or she experienced around the time of the surrender. While giving talks and between talks the individuals will not break character, so do not ask questions referring to anything that occurred after that time. These talks are typically from April-October.
