Everyone needs to visit this site at least once in their lifetime. Here is the middle of Virginia our country reunited after the Civil War. Here is the actual home where Lee surrendered to Grant. There is also the original courthouse, a store, a jail, and other old buildings. The tours can be self guided or with a group that leaves every 20 minutes or so. There are often reenacters and guides in period costumes. The small gift shop is also worth checking out. Of course Civil War buffs enjoy tracing all the battlefields nearby as well. You can follow signs marked Lee's retreat.
