Not much to look at, this historic site marks the surrender of the southern states (Carolinas, Georgia and Florida) ending the Civil War. Breathe in the history. A short jaunt.

Visit the simple farmhouse that was located between Confederate General Johnston's headquarters in Greensboro and Union General Sherman's headquarters in Raleigh, North Carolina in April 1865. The two officers met at the Bennett Place, where they signed surrender papers for southern armies in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida. Today James Bennett's reconstructed farmhouse, kitchen, and smokehouse recall the lifestyle of an ordinary Southern farmer during the Civil War.

Bennett Place is a former farm and homestead in Durham, North Carolina, which was the site of the last surrender of a major Confederate army in the American Civil War, when Joseph E. Johnston surrendered to William T. Sherman.

The Bennett Place commemorates the surrender of General Johnson to General Sherman that in effect ended the Civil War in a more meaningful way than Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox.
