The initial engagement on July 21, 1861 of what would become the First Battle of Bull Run (First Manassas) took place on McLean's farm in Manassas, Virginia. Union Army artillery fired at McLean's house, which was being used as a headquarters for Confederate Brigadier General P. G. T. Beauregard, and a cannonball dropped through the kitchen fireplace.

McLean was a retired major in the Virginia militia, but at 47, he was too old to return to active duty at the outbreak of the Civil War. In the spring of 1863, he and his family moved about 120 miles south to Appomattox County, Virginia, near a dusty, crossroads community called Appomattox Court House.

On April 9, 1865, the war revisited McLean. Confederate General Robert E. Lee was about to surrender to Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant. He sent a messenger to Appomattox Court House to find a place to meet. On April 8, 1865, the messenger knocked on McLean's door and requested the use of his home, to which McLean reluctantly agreed. Lee surrendered to Grant in the parlor of McLean's house, effectively ending the Civil War. Later, McLean is supposed to have said "The war began in my front yard and ended in my front parlor."

10/10 Excellent

"Easy to get to and seemingly in a low crime area. "

Homewood Suites by Hilton Lynchburg

10/10 Excellent

"I love this place but I did not love the price. Over $900 for two nights is a little extreme. I realize it was a very popular weekend in Lynchburg. My early reservation with a more affordable rate was not honored by the hotel that I had booked. I had to make a change to a hotel that was still available at the last minute. I understand how supply and demand works and do not blame the property. It was our choice to stay here, and we were very pleased with our stay."
